Health insurance is a contract where an insurer pays for an individual's or family's medical and surgical expenses in exchange for premiums, protecting them from high healthcare costs. The system in the U.S. is a mix of private (primarily employer-sponsored) and public programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid
