It depends on what kind of Health Insurance. Cause a lot of people mix Hospitalization and Health Insurance.
If you want the insurance to pay for your hospital expense like check up etc go for HMO like PhilCare, Caritas Sheild, etc.
They just reimburse your hospital cost but with a limit usually 100k - 500k only.
But if you want money to use incase of Expensive critical illnesses like cancer, stroke, heart attack and other money draining illnesses go for life insurance which usually have Critical Illness Riders and Daily Hospital Income (They pay you lump sum per day like if you where admitted 20 days and you have a Daily Hospital Income Rider of 2k per day, they will give you 20*2k 40k)
They Critial Illness Rider in Life Insurance will give you the Lump Sum amount usually up to 5M regardless of how much you spend for your illness.
I don't have any HMO base on bad experience but I have a lot of Life Insurance Policy in different companies mostly with Investment.
If you Like try my AXA agent (0922) 888-5922 (0917) 320-1478.
They only have Daily Hospital Income. But if you're concern about illnesses. I think they are the best, they have riders that cover all Terminal disease including dengue. And whats more. Most Life insurance Critical Illness Riders are just Accelerated which means that if you have a 5M Death Benefit and 3M Critical Illness Rider and if you are diagnose with any critical disease they give you the 3M advance from your 5M Death Benefit which means when you die you only receive 2M nalang. In AXA its separate, They give you the 3M for your Illnesses Rider and 5M if you die.

Careful with Insurance Agents Read the Proposal carefully. If they won't let you read or bring home the proposal this means they are hiding something.
And for all Investment Link Product, you have 15 days to return it if you change yiour mind, most agent wont tell you this.
If the agent said that they are leading ask for proof.
