i say this every time the topic of insurance comes up but I am a fairly healthy 28 year old guy. Never had any major health problems until I got diverticulitis(colon infection) in which I needed 12 inches of colon cut out.

You dont know when you're going to randomly get sick. I am not trying to put fear in people but its true. I never had any major or even medium-sized health problems up until then.

Having insurance is the difference between paying 4,000 dollars or 45,000 which was around what the pre insurance bill was.

i got my moneys worth and then some.

yeah to me health insurance is not a scam. idk if i just purchase a good plan or what. but my surgery for my gall bladder would have been $30k out of pocket and i paid around $2k.

A long time ago my brother fell and broke his leg in a fairly remote area and had to get life flighted to the hospital. The transport alone was over $100k and the total bill between the doctors and hospital was over a million, but he was insured and his out of pocket cost was only a couple thousand.
