My insurance costs in total are over $1,000 a month for just me ... I may have to pay $100K over the next 8 years to get to Medicare age -- better than dead I guess ...

People suggested I go on disability and let the government pay my medical expense but I have always paid my way and paid taxes for damn near 40 years now.

And Paul, treating cancers in the US health system might cost upwards of $250K in a short time -- sort of hard to write checks in that amount.
