You have a house...you have assets to protect, and income to protect? You are quite literally flirting with disaster in opting to not buy health insurance. The number one cause of bankruptcy in this country is medical bills. There are three times as many collections made for medical bills then for credit cards.

If you can, start a health savings account also, especially if your employer offers it. Any money in the account is retirement money down the road if you dont use it. It is not use or lose, and is free money if your employer kicks any in.

It was you and GR who don't understand. "Not to worry. I understand the risks completely" was my polite way of saying butt out. I didn't ask for your advice concerning my private life. Good luck with all your medical issues.
