Question
I have heard that priests have health insurance, but sisters don't?

Answer
Your must be referring to Newchurch presbyters, not traditional Catholic priests.  Traditional Catholic priests are, for the most part, independent, and must see to their own health needs without any "institutional" support.  They follow St. Paul's example (Acts of the Apostoles 18:3), which indicates that St. Paul worked for his own support.  He did not rely upon the support of others.
