Based on personal experience, using health insurances is not totally helpful. There are some doctors who do not examine you properly if you are using your insurance. It is strange that they claim to accommodate insurance users but they do not attend to them in a way that they usually do with the ones that pay for their health services. My mother does not usually use her health insurance when going to her cardiologist. One time, she decided to use it and she observed that the doctor changed his procedure upon having her checked. Usually, the doctor will conduct physical examination/get the reading of her blood pressure, etc. but when she used her health insurance, the doctor just asked a couple of questions and said that she is fine.
