Unless you're pile is in the millions, there's no way you can handle potential US health care costs w/o insurance. The catastrophic costs might damn near be infinite. Unless you have one hell of a DNR clause for your heirs. For example, 3 weeks in a small-hospital ICU in PA in 2009 was 450K. We've had a little inflation since then, and all that this paid for was keeping the patient alive. No surgery, etc.
