I think the point is that even with health insurance you can be wiped out. I dont think any reasonable definition of FI/RE would suggest being without health insurance.
The thing is that in a small % of cases, even with health insurance, you get one bad examiner, one by-the-books administrator who denies coverage for something, and you're done for.
- abraxas 6y agoSome of those dudes (eg MMM) do go without health insurance. Personally I think they are nuts unless they are OK to pack it in the moment their appendix bursts.
