Well from my own family experiences with cancer, when you're shelling out $70K a month..you'd like insurance. But for the general items, if you're relatively well off, you can probably pay "less" than having insurance coverage. To me, it is not worth the risk even remotely. But isn't it nice to live in a country where that choice is YOURS and not the governments?
