Considering that I got affordable insurance, about average cost, after

What were you doing with cancer and no insurance, schmuck?

What if your kid's leg was half severed or had a burst appendix and
you were in the same situation?

Would you shop around before taking him to the emergency room?

You think the insurance company would cover his pre-existing
condition?

Not a chance.
