That's fine and dandy, Leo, if you have a house or other resources. Not everyone is that lucky.
Even if you pay for insurance you have no guarantee that they will pay for your medical condition. There are a lot of people who have insurance, get sick, and are denied by their insurance company; and then we see them in our office.
What would you say to the parents of a child who was born with a congenital heart defect, but whose surgery to correct the defect was denied by the insurance company because it was a "pre-existing condition"? "Sorry, it's your problem, not mine." or "Sorry, you need to choose between losing your child and impoverishing yourselves because your insurance company needs to maximize profits in order to keep the investers happy."
