I self insure. I keep my state minimum and pay what I would pay in collision to myself in an interest bearing acct until I reach the replacement cost of the vehicle. Took a while the first time but after those first few years it has been worth it.

I'm currently having some suspect cardiac issues, but my insurance won't pay for "preventative" treatment. I t seems I have to have, and survive, an actual heart attack, in order to be reimbursed for my treatment.

So, just like car insurance, where you can claim only after an accident.

It's fucking stupid and makes no sense, because AFTER an incident is far more expensive....

Let’s not forget when you get hit not everything is covered, also some damages like trees falling in your car from storms etc. Is also not always covered unless you have specific and even more expensive insurance. Also you don’t even cover your own car, you cover the other persons car.

In conclusion: insurance is a fucking scam

A lot of people can afford an insurance premium, and perhaps a deductible, but won't have enough for a $40,000 liability even if they saved for years.

What is suggested in this post is not much different from the past where poor people simply went on not having coverage and ended up in indentured servitude working off debts with manual labor like picking rocks. It's also just a thread away from Health Sharing Ministries, which is just a catastrophic failure whose nuance cannot be accurately depicted in a short comment.

I don't mind paying for auto insurance, but I also get more out than I pay :(

I probably pay in 5-6k before my car gets totaled and I get a payout higher than that before I start the process again.

Just once I want to be able to keep a car to the point where it's actually paid off .....

Well because if you crash right after making the insurance there won’t be enough in your “savings”.

Same for the retirement fund tho. You have to be old to take some money out.
