We get insurance in case we get in an accident, or we need an appendectomy, or we have a baby, or anything else that we would not be able to pay for out of pocket. You can be as proactive about your health as you can possibly be, but bad stuff can still happen and that's why insurance is still very important for those who can't afford to pay large medical bills.Aaron Riedlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562227504110310099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423334899663792596.post-35950328873478594492009-10-28T14:44:15.196-07:002009-10-28T14:44:15.196-07:00I am one of those who do not have health insurance...I am one of those who do not have health insurance. Not because i don't have the money to pay for it; but because i do not want to WASTE the money on "insuring" i get sick. That is like saying...i am going to get sick in the future so i better pay now so i don't have to pay when i do get sick. <br />I am a proponent of Prevention. Sounds like you are too Aaron. To take more responsible measures before getting sick i think is much better. IN the last 15 years of not having med ins. i have been to see the doctor twice...for wellness checks. I am very aware of what goes in and comes out of my body...that may sound gross to some but if we are more proactive; instead of letting the doctors tell us we are sick and having to take the drugs that cause our immune system to shut down, we end up staying healthy and building up our defenses against disease. I teach classes on Detoxification and Regeneration; the need to clean our bodies out and what we put in them is vital to our health. But because we have not taken more responsible roles in finding out what is being ingested and what the ingredients are; we end up having to rely on Washington to tell us we have a problem. Glad to hear your looking at this seriously. IT is really something i care a lot about. see you at Julie's halloween party? love aunt karenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
