I've heard that there are a lot of people in the U.S. who don't have health insurance. What are the consequences of not having health insurance?

The consequences can be severe, especially if you get sick or injured. Without health insurance, you could end up facing large medical bills and even bankruptcy. You might also lose your job if you're unable to work due to illness or injury. In addition, without health insurance, you may not be able to afford preventive care such as regular check-ups and vaccinations.
