Is it OK to have just the health care program and not have the Health Insurance plan? I can get Health care program for half the monthly premium as compared to the Health Insurance plan. Please advise? is it advisable?
You don't say what country you are in, your age, or anything much else.
It doesn't matter what these are called. You have to compare:
What doctors you can see (any doctor? one in their network?)
What kind of doctor you can see (do you have to go to a primary care physician first, before you can see a specialist?)
Whether hospitalization is covered
What is the deductible (the amount out of pocket before they pay anything each year)
What is the co-pay (the amount you pay each time you use the insurance)
How likely are you to use the benefits?
Then make up a situation - you fall off a bike and break your arm, or you catch something serious. Figure out how you will benefit from each plan.
Of course it is okay, as long as it suits your needs. I would actually combine a high deductible ins with a health care program for best coverage for the $ spent monthly. I recommend MySimpleCard.com for its cost effectiveness.
What is the difference between Health Insurance and Health care Program?

According to the American College of Physicians, it is imperative that Congress fund immediate and sustained increases in payments for primary care to make it competitive with other career choices and to help struggling primary care practices keep their doors open.
Although Congress could fund primary care through budget neutral adjustments in the Medicare physician fee schedules, this option has several distinct disadvantages-including the likelihood that it will face strong opposition from other stakeholders that will undermine the political support needed to improve payments for primary care.
