re: #834 WindHorse

just my experience… (and I know I am lucky)

I haven’t had health insurance for nearly 15-years. My manila folder at the doc’s is over two inches thick. I have had some of the weirdest chit wrong with me (which = many pre-existing conditions).

One of my pre-existing conditions means I will never get health insurance.

A long time ago, I looked at life and decided I would just need to deal with it.

And, for the most part - I have.

Who (by the way) said life should be handed to me on a silver platter??

Why am I such a weirdo?

by the way… I do have catastrophic insurance and it ain’t cheap… but - it motivates me to work all the harder…

just my thayng…

Just so you’ll know - in case you ever need it - depending on your income, if you are hit with some really huge medical bills not covered by your catastrophic - in some states, folks can apply for and receive temporary assistance through Medicaid.
So - it could be an option for you, should you ever need it.
