Human: I've heard that there are a lot of people in the U.S. who don't have health insurance. What are the consequences of not having health insurance? Assistant: 
The consequences can be serious, especially if you get sick or injured. Without insurance, you may have to pay for medical care out of pocket, which can be expensive and cause financial hardship. You also could risk being denied coverage for future medical needs, as well as facing higher premiums when you do get insured again. In addition, without insurance, you may not receive the proper treatment for your condition, leading to worse outcomes and increased costs later on.
