I guess you may be much healthier than the people I know, but I don't think I know very many people who go three years without a visit to the doctor. We all get infections that are considered minor and routine due to our medical care, but if we can't get that medical care they can be life-threatening, like strep throat or other common winter ailments. We all sometimes have accidents and trip and need to go to the hospital. There are lots of other things. Counting on visiting only once every three years is a bit dangerous imo.
- jasonkester 16y agoI remember exactly one doctor's visit in my 20s (bad dose of poison oak), one in my early 30s (bad bouldering fall), then nothing until age 39. So yeah, your mileage may vary. Needless to say, I never came close to hitting my $5k deductible. (or even my $250 annual deductible in the years when I had company-sponsored insurance).
