The impact of Insurance policy is huge on my life because insurance protects us from the everyday risks of life. Through insurance policy i can live a little hectic free life, for an instance.... i own a car which has insurance...if god forbid i wreck my car in any road accident or if someone stoles my car than i wont be worried...because the insurance money i am paying to the insurance company, will cover all the expenses. If the case is car-stolen, than the insurance company will provide me a new car of the same brand and model. Second policy is healthcare law....Healthcare policy involves the creation and implementation of laws, rules, and regulations for managing nation's healthcare system.

Impact of this policy on my life is totally positive..as it aims to provide better medical facilities when in need.
