With no health insurance, you might be extra slow and cautious when doing work or driving. Never get in a hurry if you can avoid doing so except for emergencies.

Yeah, I Drive an FR-S 160 miles on my commute every day and just cut up a ton of felled trees on my 32 acres today with a chain saw.

I strongly suggest prayer, my friend!

BTW, If I get hurt while driving, car insurance covers it. And I did injure myself pretty badly three months ago. I was boiling tung oil to finish a 12’ desk I was building and somehow stepped on the pot of boiling water in stocking feet. I got bad blisters on my toes and a 4” blister on the top of my foot (starting at the toes and moving up the foot) that was roughly 1.5” tall. But I went to the internet and learned several things:
1. DON’T pop the blisters. They protect the newly growing skin.
2. Use lots of Aloe. We happen to have several Aloe plants around the house.
3. Neosporum will fight off any bacteria and reduce the chance of getting an infection.

It healed in two weeks. I was careful to put NOTHING on it. Not even a bandage. In those two weeks the blisters got ugly, eventually popped, but I left the skin on and kept using aloe. Within three weeks the old skin was gone and the entire area had shiny new red skin. There was not a hint of infection and looking at my foot now you would never know it happened.

All of this without doctors, emergency rooms, etc.

The doctor is good for setting broken bones, but even then it’s less expensive than a single month’s health care insurance premium. Health car insurance is simply not worth the cost.

BTW, when I DID have health insurance, I had a VERY sore toe and thought I’d broken it, even though I don’t remember any event. I went to the doctor and he took x-rays but couldn’t find anything. He sent me home and said I should use asprin or similar to deal with the pain and see what happens.

So I went home and went straight to google. In five minutes it was OBVIOUS that I had gout, and a classic case. In another 5 minutes I knew I should be drinking black cherry juice. I bought some and two days later the pain was gone.

I get it about once a year and now I have black cherry pills (six year supply for $25) and as soon as I feel the slightest twinge of pain there, I start taking two pills a day and it goes away without getting bad.

The doctor had no clue. Google is actually replacing MD’s for most stuff.

Oh, and we also have an acquaintence that was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She used the Gerson method and has been cancer free now for over five years. She did have to buy a $2600 juicer though. That’s just a little over two months bronze premium for my wife and I.
