Our medical fund fund is taking a hit this week. We paid out $140 to find out that dh does NOT have to have a colonoscopy done this year and today, I took him to the oral surgeon. That bill was $695 but they knocked off $85 cause we don't have insurance.
Even tho he got put to sleep, he wanted to go back to work this afternoon. I made him stay home and rest. Just so glad that we have a medical fund when we need it. I put aside $100 a week for this.

My 42-year-old wife in perfect health (or so we thought) had to have emergency gallbladder surgery. The hospital bill was $28,000. That didn't include the original visit with the doctor or the ultrasound that led up to the surgery. Even with insurance, our out of pocket expenses came to a few thousand dollars, and that was after the hospital gave me a discount on our share. Something more serious or involving a longer hospital stay could easily have been $50,000 or $100,000 or more.
By not having health insurance, you risk losing everything you have worked so hard to build your whole lives.
