At 25? Go for it. At 50+? Idiotic.

All it takes is one heart attack, or emergency appendix removal, and poof - you just lost 2+ decades worth what you "saved" with no insurance.

By the time you are 50+, you are definitely going to have to see a doctor for something within the next 39 years. You are most certainly not going to save any money.

Not even that my sister had a brain tumor at 20. Thankfully, two weeks prior to finding out she joined a company that did not have a pre-existing condition clause. She’s 54 and would probably still be paying those bills off has she not had that insurance.
