What if Bob doesn’t have insurance? Bob has a car accident and is hospitalized for one month. He then faces a long and painful rehabilitation process of 12 months to try to regain the use of one of his arms. Even with private health insurance, there are medical bills to be paid particularly for physiotherapy and rehabilitation sessions. Bob has no income for 13 months but must continue to pay his lease costs of P100,000 per annum. What little money Bob receives in disability payments from the government won’t cover his rental costs. Bob has to move back home and borrow money from his parents. If he doesn’t recover the use of his arm Bob will never be able to work as a carpenter again and will have to retrain into a potentially lower paid job.
Comment on how insurance can help Bob in his current situation.

He is earning P300,000 gross but pays P100,000 in expenses, most of which are fixed expenses ie a leased car and leased equipment. Bob rents an apartment and spends the rest of his earnings of P200,000 on living and entertainment expenses. Bob has little in the way of savings.
