It is a matter of deciding what is important. I think it is highly likely were I in that circumstance today, we would have a lesser policy but I cannot imagine we would be without insurance with two young kids.

The family that lives down the street, who came here from Mexico in the 80s, has never carried health insurance, flat out doesn't believe in it. He could afford it, easily. Raised four kids. His wife is being treated for cancer right now, and he reaches in his pocket and pays the tab. To him, that's being responsible. To me, it is insane. But both methods work.
