Okay! Scenario time! Same thing happens to you, or your family. A family member has cancer. It's going to cost $50k and a few months. What do you do? Oh wait.

Oh wait. Instead of $50k, it's more like $75k. Actually, make that $125k. But it's going to be $125k and no more.
Just kidding. In fact, because I'm playing the role of Life + Healthcare in this scenario, I'm going to lob a little bit more at you. In fact, it's going to be $1M. (Think this is implausible? Sorry, it's not. [1]) What are you going to do? Also, I may up that number a little bit more, just for kicks. What are your plans?

- lobotryas 13y agoYour post may be more convincing if you outlined your actual point instead of relying on hypothetical scenarios. My only guess at what you're saying is: "Healthcare costs can be unpredictable." That's a fair assumption, but it fails to negate my previous point in any way.
