Here are five free resources (two ebooks, two webinars and a policy comparison spreadsheet) to help you choose a suitable health insurance policy.
1. Ebook on Health Insurance by Venkatesh Jayaraman.
Author Bio: I was brought up in Chennai and moved around Bengaluru, Chennai, Mysuru and Pune to cater for my career requirements. But primarily live in Bengaluru and Chennai. Personal finance was my interest even before I started to earn. I found that many youngsters were mismanaging their hard-earned money, and few also had to borrow at the month-end for their food expenses. I used to discuss with them and enlighten them on money management and personal finance.
I then extended this knowledge or advisory to new joiners so that they can plan their finances well from the initial years of their earnings and put compounding to work at an early age of 25. I had been voluntarily doing this over the last few years until my work demanded frequent travel. I started investing in stocks from the peak of January 2008, the right time to have learned many lessons on stock investment directly from the markets.

Disclaimer: The contents of this sheet should be used only as a guideline to select health policies. The features mentioned in your policy document could differ from those in the sheet. Also, the sheet could have some errors as it was manually compiled. If you notice, Lakshminarayanan has made this sheet for his personal situation. You should also do this as insurance is a personalized purchase.
Do not buy any health insurance policy (any policy or product for that matter) without reading and understanding the terms and conditions!

(2) Gamechanger: Forget Startups, Join Corporate & Still Live the Rich Life You Want. 
Both the boy and girl versions of "Chinchu Gets a Superpower".
Most investor problems stem from a lack of poor decision-making. We made bad decisions and money mistakes when we started earning, and we spent years undoing them. Why should our children go through the same pain? What is this book about? As parents, what if we had to groom one ability in our children that matters not only for money management and investing but for every aspect of life? My answer: Sound decision-making. So, in this book, we meet Chinchu, who is about to turn 10. The story follows what he wants for his birthday and how his parents plan it, while also teaching him key ideas about decision-making and money management. What readers say! 
Feedback from a young reader after reading Chinchu Gets a Superpower!
Must-read book even for adults! This is something that every parent should teach their kids right from a young age. The importance of money management and decision-making based on their wants and needs. Very nicely written in simple terms. - Arun.
