This is honestly one of the things that most stresses me out as I get older. I don't use my insurance much now because I'm pretty healthy, but I know my cancer risk will just go up over time. I've considered that if something like this ever did happen, I'd move to Lithuania and do it there paying in cash over trying to do it in the US system. Universal health care can't come fast enough.

When you get old you presumably qualify for Medicare.

  Why not just make it so that you always qualify for Medicare?

    Because it would go bankrupt and then no one would get Medicare.

      But why not make it not go bankrupt?

        Because "I got mine", or maybe not yet, but someday I hope to get mine and you better keep your grubby hands off my imaginary money.

  A lot can happen before age 65, and cancer doesn't wait!

I was genuinely asking a clarification question because "Universal Healthcare" can often mean compulsory insurance purchase, Single payer, single provider or other means too ... As with many things I think the details of how is critically important... more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_health_care https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_health_care
