“What you eat is critical when you are 66 and have no interest in health insurance”

Medicare Advantage plans are cheap $30-70 bucks per month.

I don’t care how well you eat. Cancer/strokes/heartattacks still happen. Can’t believe you are going without insurance. Many of the new drugs are $1000-2000 per month

My 95 year old uncle just passed away from a stroke. Bills were over $110k from 3 weeks in the hospital.

Life is short anyway. And we have two bonafide healing miracles. We trust the Lord. He has been beyond faithful.

Yeah. We are remote. If that were to happen to one of us, we’d die - and be with the Lord. He’ll take us when he’s good and ready.

My wife’s first husband died of leukemia when he was in his late 20’s. Even though she had told the hospital to NOT perform life saving procedures (he was terminal), at one point their training kicked in and added several hundred thousand to the bill almost overnight.

We are not taking the hospital route. We’re not afraid to die. We figure we’ll die together in a fiery crash anyway - with me driving.

We don’t do drugs. We’ll pass.

BTW, since eliminating health insurance, we’ve saved over 100,000 after tax dollars on insurance premiums. And this is insurance that has such a high deductible, that it’s pretty worthless for anything we’d want it for anyway (e.g. setting broken bones).

You are right. Bad things can happen. That fear that you will be the rare person that they happen to is what insurance companies depend on. Otherwise, who would buy it?
