Navta health insurance

I need it. going to pay out-of-pocket. 40 year old non smoking female, healthy. Any tips? Anything I should know? I've never shopped for health insurance, have no idea what I'm doing.

I'm doing an assignment on health insurance and I wanted to know why is it a good thing to get health insurance?

Thanks!!!
