I dropped health insurance more than four years ago and have never looked back. Once you understand how the incentives of corporate hospital systems and health insurance providers are misaligned with end consumers you realize that opting out is the only option. View quoted note →

Rookie numbers. Me at 8.
What if you end up in the hospital and get crippling medical bill after your stay? I don't want to have health insurance, but if I end up in the hospital for like twee weeks because of a bizarre accident or something I would go bankrupt.

More than four years ago, I dropped health insurance and never looked back. I use that money to buy Bitcoin every month.

Don’t believe the prices you see online. If you are out of pocket, they’ll give you some kind of discount once things are done so that they can at least recoup some of their money. It may not be cheap but it’s not going to be $125k they know they’ll never get paid
Americas health care sucks but compare it to other countries like Canada and it looks great lol My friend works for crap wages in Canada, pays way too much in taxes to pay for others healthcare and never goes to the doctor himself Now that’s really fucked up

How do you manage in the event of an emergency medical situation, though? The cost of even basic surgery is beyond my reach without insurance…

Terrible advice unless you are wealthy enough to self-insure. Carrying insurance to potentially cover a catastrophic injury doesn't mean you're giving your body to the system.
For health really on God, pray for it, eat healthy, sleep well don't do stupid experiments with body, be clean from inside and outside. That's the only hack humans following from 10000 years, Insurance is modern scam.

I never disagreed with that, I just said you shouldn’t blindly trust viral pictures on the internet of hospital bills because it works differently. Do what’s best for you.

I too opted out 5 years ago. There are health shares available if you’re generally healthy to start
Also don’t forget in some states if you opt out you have to pay a penalty for every month you are uncovered to the state 🤡🌎

I was healthy 4 years ago. 3 years ago I had to have surgery to save my life. The bill was just a few thousand dollars under $1M. If I didn't have insurance, I would have never gotten to use Nostr.

This is a reasonable question. Freak accidents happen more often than you’d think. I worked in a trauma center for over a decade and saw many people with no insurance end up in terrible situations. For example, an 18-year-old kid was driving on the freeway to visit his girlfriend when a construction sign blew over and the post went straight through his chest. He survived, but his medical bills were astronomical. I assume he eventually settled on some kind of payment plan, but if you’re uninsured, you should have a plan in place for emergencies, especially if you’re holding a stack of sats you want to protect from liquidation, and even more importantly if you have kids or a family to provide for.
