The way I understand it, health insurance usually enjoyed by the insured person while still alive. It helps cover the costs of things that lead to health problems. It could be a pathogenic disease or injuries caused by several types of accidents. All in all, a health insurance policy helps to prevent someone from dying due to being unable to afford the costs of getting medical help on the health problems. On the other hand, a life insurance is used by the people of the insured person when he/she dies. It covers costs such as the funeral services, protection of the children left behind and the whole family's needs.
