Or perhaps you don't expect to have any serious health issues. Right...just like the people that don't bother with a will because they never expect to die. But for most middle-class Americans, a serious illness or injury to themselves or a family member could wipe them out financially if they did not have health insurance. Yes Art, this is quite true. Medical expenses have gone through the roof. I recently had two relatives and a friend requiring medical care, arthroscopic knee surgery, appendectomy and quadruple bypass. The prices for these services ranged from a low of $18,500 to a little over $100,000. |
