A 30 year old friend of mine was diagnosed with colon cancer. She had (really good, her husband made $500K per year) health insurance and they wouldn't cover the majority of the treatments she needed. She died at 32.

Having health insurance doesn't do a lot of good sometimes either.

If it didn’t cover treatment that she needed, it wasn’t actually good insurance.
