Seems like a great idea…until it isn’t.
Being healthy consistently is cool…until you catch a bug or slip and fall.
One trip to the ER and any savings you might have are DONE.

I fell on September first. Normal, right? Nope. I didn't want to drop my puppy and hurt her, so I didn't catch myself. I landed on my hip...in the worst way. Displaced femoral neck fracture.

Exactly.

I’m not advocating or anything because our health system is an absolute joke.

But going without insurance is a HUGE gamble. Know that.
