But when you get sledge-hammered with $57K in medical bills in one
month, as well as ongoing monthly costs after that time, you'd better
either have some kind of insurance or have made some really great
financial decisions earlier in life to avoid being on the street.


Think of it this way: if we had a system where nobody bought "health insurance" and everybody approached the purchase of health care the same way they purchase any other service, your wife's medical bills might have been only $5,700.
