I've heard that men who live to 100 have a 100% chance of prostate cancer. They just leave it untreated because we're cured when we die.
I would be ecstatic for an option for emergency healthcare insurance, because that's all my family needs. I could cost effectively purchase all other services necessary as needed, and save an enormous amount of money. But like I said, these companies need my money to shoulder the financial burden, so I'm not holding my breath. I just know I could learn to be okay with being forced to pay for other people if they managed it better.

Right, I think the high deductible plans could work IF we also add national HSA that everyone is eligible for to pay for routine health care costs pre tax.
