Which type of insurance is intended to cover health-related costs due to unexpected medical situations?

  1. Auto insurance

  2. Health insurance

  3. Life insurance

  4. Disability insurance

The correct answer is: Health insurance

Health insurance is specifically designed to cover medical expenses incurred as a result of unexpected health-related events, such as illnesses or injuries. This type of insurance provides individuals with access to necessary medical care, often covering hospitalization, doctor visits, surgeries, and prescription medications. By mitigating the financial burden of these medical costs, health insurance ensures that individuals can receive care without overwhelming expenses. In contrast, auto insurance primarily protects against damages and liabilities incurred from vehicle-related incidents. Life insurance provides financial support to beneficiaries after the insured person's death, focusing on long-term financial planning rather than immediate health concerns. Disability insurance offers income replacement for individuals who are unable to work due to a medical condition or disability but does not directly cover medical expenses. Therefore, health insurance is the most appropriate choice for covering unexpected medical situations.
