I'm almost 40 and never had use of my health insurance - if you are like me you can save 124$ per month !
Think of all those years I would have been able to save. Same thing for my car (never stolen, no accident), house insurance (no theft), professional liability insurance, travel insurance (no problem so far), life insurance (still alive), payment protection insurance (still employed), critical illness insurance on the mortgage (thanks god).
Don't be bitter about it. I don't regret it for a second all that money spent. I feel lucky every day if the little premium I pay prevent me to see a friend in misery. And by the time you get my age, you will have seen a lot of stuff happening around you (to me it started around age 28, shit happening somewhere is sadly too common nowadays).
- Beached 11y agoI do not regret paying for health insurance, or car insurance for that matter. It would actually be cheaper for me to pay the penalty and not have coverage, however i still have it because it is what I consider a good investment, even at the increased rates. I will say I am a little bitter, since I actually worked at a health insurance company that worked to reduce health care costs instead of just upped the premiums when costs rose, I see how the health industry triad is just making it worse. The ACA on top of that has made it so that the free market will not be able to correct itself and effectively ruined capitalism from working for the health industry. ACA had good intentions, just very poor execution.
