Morphology
The noun is a straightforward composition of 'health' (state of being free from illness) and 'insurance' (a protection/payment arrangement), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to insurance covering medical/healthcare costs. This compositional pattern is common across languages and follows regular noun + noun compounding, making it immediately understandable at the B1 level.
Etymology
Health insurance comes from a simple idea: people put money together or make a promise, called insurance, so anyone who becomes sick can get help to pay for doctor visits and medicine. That's why health insurance means 'insurance that pays for medical treatment'.
