Quick answer NO. Longer answer, it may be wise to to purchase a Critical Illness and Accident Plan. These types of plans would pay you an amount of money in case you had a critical illness or accident. This is money you can use for any reason including paying your deductible and out of pact from your health insurance.

Also, they are generally much less expensive then a second health insurance plan.

What is the advantage of double health insurance?

The advantages of having double health insurance are if one of your health insurances fails to provide you with something, perhaps your other one will. I didn't even know you could have more than one health insurance but if it's possible, then I suppose that's a plus.

Do you need to have insurance if your husband carry you on his insurance?

In the past it was common for people to be double covered for health insurance. However, now with the cost of medical insurance increasing so much in recent years and the decrease in the portion that is paid by employers, it is no longer reasonable to carry double coverage. In reality the second policy will only cover the 20% not paid by the primary policy and this is in exchange for the full premium.
