what you want is to be able to put a dollar value on your health and have someone else write the check to pay for it.

no thanks mister. there is a safety net of minimal health coverage for extreme cases. it's a pretty crappy system, but it isn't meant to be attractive. the gap between that and "good" healthcare is up to you to provide for you and yours. not my responsibility.

Ok, but what if your insurance company decides not to pay for a life-saving procedure you or your family might need done?
