I personally have health insurance, PPO blue cross blue shield that i spend buko bucks a month on.

Im 31, when i was in my early 20s i didnt have health insurance either. afte a night of drinking in the gas lamp in san diego i woke in the hospital robbed and hit with a baseball bat to my eye.

i woke up in hospital, cop standig there says "youve been robbed". i got back into unconsciousness. wake up again right as im about to go into an mri tube. got back to unconsciousness.

wake again, this time im able to maintain consciousness, tell doctors i dont have health insurance and that i am refusing medical attention. docotr gets pissed, tells me i have a tripod fracture, etc etc..

i stumble for miles trying to get back to downtown where i live. walk on a bus dont pay anything, im covered covered in blood.

long story short - i needed 20k in facial reconstructive surgery with no health insurance.

luckily there is a thing called crime victims fund which has a max pay out of 20k. money for the fund comes from guys in jail for violent crimes. so if they get $1 an hour for working as a cook in jail, 70 cents goes into the fund.

just got the screws, plates and medical plastic holding my eye ball in place taken out last year.

so yeah, who needs health insurance? just make sure when you get injured its done by a guy with a bat!
