As someone with experience in the veterinary industry I highly recommend pet insurance unless you can afford paying out-of-pocket for surprise procedures. It can be expensive.

Also, be sure to take your pet to a vet at least once a year for annual checkups and preventative care. Do not wait for a reason to go in. So many people call in to have their pet looked at when some weird symptom appears, only to discover that their pet now has an issue that could have been prevented if they had been visiting regularly.
