Define 'premium' in the context of insurance.

The premium is the amount you pay regularly to maintain your insurance coverage.

Explain what a 'deductible' is and how it affects your insurance costs.

A deductible is the amount you pay out-of-pocket before your insurance coverage kicks in. Generally, a higher deductible results in lower premiums.

What does 'coverage' refer to in an insurance policy?

Coverage refers to the extent of protection provided by the insurance policy, including what events or losses are covered and up to what amount.

Differentiate between a high-premium, low-deductible insurance plan and a low-premium, high-deductible plan. What are the pros and cons of each?

High-premium, low-deductible plans have higher monthly payments but lower out-of-pocket costs when you need to use the insurance. Low-premium, high-deductible plans have lower monthly payments but require you to pay more out-of-pocket before coverage starts. High premium is good if you anticipate needing the insurance, low premium is good if you are healthy and don't expect to need it.

Explain how understanding insurance terms like premium, deductible, and coverage can help you make informed decisions when choosing an insurance policy.

Understanding these terms allows you to assess the true cost of an insurance policy, balance monthly payments with potential out-of-pocket expenses, and ensure the policy adequately protects against potential risks.
