So far, I have been...Yeah, yeah, we know you're invincible, cupcake.
Here I am.
I had health insurance when I was young. Never went without it.Many guys think that when they're young. Most of 'em, thankfully, outgrow that phase.
But when I was 28, I became very ill. I went to doctor after doctor, all sorts of invasive fucked-up tests, results all negative. Thousands and thousands of dollars. Well, I finally had a use for my health insurance. The problem was: they couldn't figure out what was wrong. One arrogant doctor actually suggested it was all in my head, since his tests were negative, and perhaps I ought to seek psychiatric help for my problem. Eventually, it resolved on its own. Somehow, my body figured it out and fought back, and eliminated whatever the problem was.
Once I was better, I cancelled my health insurance, which had proven to be worthless. I've been uninsured since then, and just paid out-of-pocket whenever I've needed health care.
If I ever come down with some illness that I can't afford to pay for, let me die before I cost any American taxpayer a fucking dime.
