Most webmasters don't bother to take part of their income and set it aside for insurance or emergencies.
Hell many of them don't set aside money for taxes, either.

Exactly. For instance, if I had $200K worth of surgery, my bill would be my $1000 deductible, then $2500 out of pocket. Period. At 42, I pay $282 a month for this. BTW, I make that $282 back almost immediately since I pay $25 each for 2 packs of Imitrex a month which are normally $165 each.
These webmasters who complain about large medical bills aren't capable of managing their money correctly. Even when I was a VERY struggling single mother, I still bought catastrophic health insurance for me and the kid. For most of these young male webmasters, that would run them less than $70 a month. But then they couldn't go to Vegas, get the new Ricer modified, go out partying every other night, etc., etc., etc.
The MAIN problem with the health care situation in America is that those of us who DO have insurance and pay our taxes are paying for those that don't. If national health care gets implemented, all that will happen is lower services and higher taxes. But hey, if you're not paying taxes anyway, what's the worry? :angry:
