Do I need health insurance?

DrewS asked:


I am a healthy 20 year old male… I have a wife, who is also healthy, that really thinks we should get health insurance… My work offers a decent plan for $300 a month… I think this money could be put to better use… a savings account or something. The problem is of course, emergencies. I’ve seen plans that cover emergencies but only like 80% and they have a high deductible/monthly payment. Any suggestions/ideas??
