[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 72881, member: 1356"] traveler, That sounds all fine and dandy, but when you, your kid or your wife is really sick you don't normally have time to "shop around". In reality you are gambling all you own that you don't get truly seriously ill or hurt. I managed to time an emergency appendectomy while traveling (you know all about that) in New York City. I was in NYU for 27 hours and I am not positive what the final bill is going to be to the insurance companies or me, but I know the bills that have found their way from NY to MI so far exceed 18 thousand bucks for those measly 27 hours. This for a serious, but basically routine illness. That is just unbelieveable to me, but it is reality. How many days like that can one without insurance afford. Realize, I wouldn't have had time to [I]shop around[/I] if I hadn't had insurance to find a 12 thousand dollar steal of a deal ambulance, hospital, nurse and physician. What you are doing has worked for you [U]so far[/U] and I hope your good luck continues as well as it's your right to do as you wish, but it's still high stakes gambling any way you look at it and I would not recommend [I]living[/I] such a gamble for anyone.
