Just how does one save up for radical cancer therapy after you retire

and

don't have company health insurance. No insurance company is going to
insure you and if you do find insurance you can say goodbye to your nest

egg

that you have been saving for all your life. Oh yeah, you get to sell

your

house and give it to a doctor. What a great way to grow old. Just when
you've finished working all your life, and through the luck of the draw,

you

get to lose everything you own to the health industry. But, at least

you

have your life, such that it is, living in a rental at a trailer park.



One can buy his own insurance. The fact that you cannot get a decent

policy

is largely due to government interference in insurance.


Dude, you're a little out in right field on this one. What do you think
insurance is going to cost you after you have retired and had a bout with
cancer? Either way it's going to cost you your house and everything you
have worked for all your life. This is where countries with socialized
medicine have it over the US. People live longer and pay less for medical
care than in the US. Have a read.

And your way to the left.

Why is it anyone's responsibility to protect you from bad luck? Why do
you have a right to be protected from what you consider catastrophe
(living in a trailer park)? Should I also round up a group of citizens
and force them you buy you a new car in the event you wreck yours?

If you can't afford or don't want to pay for the health insurance, then
do like everyone has done since Adam and Eve got driven from the
Garden...lay down and die. It is going to happen eventually, no matter
how you try to stop it (My Dad always told me that no one has gotten out
of this life alive yet.)

You do not want insurance. You want socialized medicine. In the game
of insurance, you pay someone to accept your liability. Using the Law
of Large numbers, the insurer makes a profit by charging enough to lots
of clients to cover what he'll lose.

We know that everyone will get old, then feeble and eventually die. We
can only take this for granted, only because that has been the course in
every completed life up to this point. In order to cover everyone with
'insurance', the insurer would have to charge enough to cover everyone's
healtcare...at which point, it would be cheaper just to pay yourself and
the insurer has become redundant, a useless drain on the system.

The problem we have is that people want insurance to cover maintenance
healthcare. You don't know what the doc is getting paid, so you never
bother to call 'bull****' at their bills, and the system continues in a
downward spiral.
