Yeah, those mandates are a drop in the bucket of premium cost drivers. Insurance that doesn't cover anything shouldn't cost much.
And I don’t care about either of those.
You should.
—You should.—
What I care about is stuff like my rotator cuff surgery I had about 14 months ago. Broken bones, stuff like that. To use the car analogy, things like getting bearings replaced, fixing damage from accidents, stuff like that.
If the engine starts burning oil, or the body rusts out to the point that the struts break off the frame, it’s time to take this hulk to the junk yard.
My wife’s first husband died of Leukemia at age 27, leaving her with three VERY young children to support. That is a man that needed Cancer coverage in his health insurance. But I’m almost 60, my kids are all in their 20’s and 30’s, and my wife is set up. If I get cancer, I die. It happens. The Lord will take me when he wants me. I don’t need cancer insurance.
Heck, the last time I got a physical was in my late 30’s. Even if they were to catch it, I’d be so far gone it wouldn’t matter.
Life is a mist.
“For me, to die is gain.” - the apostle Paul.
