Health insurance is an important method of financing the increased costs of medical care. The high cost of health services coupled with the randomness of health needs and the inadequacy of personal savings is the principal reason for the importance of insurance as a means of financing health services. The aim of the study is the awareness about health insurance among unorganized industrial workers in Coimbatore. The study states that people are aware of insurance but probably unaware of schemes and types of insurance.
