which will bankrupt you without insurance.

Or CP, or asthma, or have a car accident and suffer catastrophic injuries, or have a child contract leukemia, or... (insert calamity here that has nothing to do with healthy living or supplements).

Fact is, life happens. My husband is a poster child for healthy living and eating as a professional athlete and he got lymphoma. His treatment has cost a small fortune which would have destroyed us if we didn't have insurance.

I agree that the whole insurance industry is a racket. It MUST go. It infuriates me to be sitting next to someone at the hospital who is as deserving of medical care as my husband but they can't afford it.
