Even with insurance, the first post I put up here said 20% of people that get cancer become destitute... If you find that acceptable What it said was that 20% become destitute, even with insurance. I don't find that acceptable, but neither do I find it believable. There's so much stuff out there that defies common sense. I track back as much as I can on some of it but you can't get the data, you can't form your own conclusion, and all you have left is the propaganda. But what you can do, even with propaganda, is think critically and exercise common sense. That assertion defies common sense. It doesn't defy it quite so baldly and violently as Moore's notion that a third of the uninsured will die this year, but it sure defies it. If I have to move and obtain insurance thru another carrier in another state with a pre-existing condition, I'm screwed... Yes, that's a problem. It's important to get health insurance early and with a carrier with a national footprint. And to save for retirement. And to avoid risky activities. And get a good education. And to build networks. And to buy a home, one not below sea level. And to exercise. Etcetera. Lots of things to do if one wants a smooth ride in life.
