Hina Khan Stresses The Importance Of Financial Independence And Medical Insurance For Women

The Women’s Day episode of Sunday Brunch was extra special as our Editor-in-Chief got to speak to the talented Hina Khan! Over some delicious pan-Asian food we chatted about the importance of women being financially independent and having good insurance. As a cancer patient, Hina Khan knows how one can be blindsided by life’s unending punches. As such, it is prudent to be as prepared for circumstances as one can be.

Hina Khan Stresses The Importance Of Financial Independence

Since it was Women’s Day, the conversation had to move towards women and the struggles that they uniquely face despite the ostensible empowerment they’ve gained over the years. Hina Khan was asked about the importance of financial independence for women and what her views on it are.

She started out by emphasising the importance of insurance. Hina said that her insurance was not of a huge amount. “Insurance is very very very VERY important,” she stressed. She then went on to talk about how one never knows what life has in store for them.

She recommends that if you can, the first thing you should do is get insurance. She even goes as far as saying that if you have to, forego travelling or buying clothes for a year and focus on paying for the insurance. It will help you a lot.

Importance Of Having Robust And Hefty Medical Insurance

While speaking a bit more on the importance of medical insurance, she specified that it isn’t easy for people will illnesses to get a big insurance. After you’ve been diagnosed with an illness, your insurance only covers an extremely limited amount.

Only if you’ve been healthy for almost a decade since recovering from the illness can you increase the amount of insurance. It was so enlightening to hear about this from Hina Khan!
