I am fairly well off I'd say... Then I was thinking "What happens if tomorrow I get injured and cannot work for 12 months". - I lose my place of living because I can't afford the bills - I move into my parent's house - My family loses their health insurance entirely. - I have to pay for COBRA... but I don't have a job... - I may need to take out loans to just get by for some time till I can get my health back in order. Yeah we have ZERO social safety nets.

can you explain why you don't consider medicare, food stamps, and section 8 housing to be social safety nets?

  Because there can be very high qualifications for some of them? Medicare is not applied uniformly, and you might get a random price for what you get. Medicaid is a social safety net, but that's a last ditch thing and very few providers take it. I'm not sure what it would take to qualify for section 8, but I think it has a long waiting list and some high qualifications like having just about nothing.
