How else
do you explain the fact that medical bills are a leading cause of
bankruptcies in this country?

You have pointed out something that needs to be addressed: It's all about
personal responsibility.


Check out AFLAC insurance. It's affordable, very specific, and for the
cost of a cable TV subscription will cover someone quite adequately in the
event of a catastrophic illness or injury -- the kind that most often
drives
a person into bankruptcy.

My company provides insurance (AFLAC is the underwriter, Guardian is the
issuer...I think) and split the cost for our 14 employees who pay roughly
$90-110 a month for $250K catastrophic coverage and limited medical
coverage.

No, it doesn't cover hangnails and every little gripe, but when one of my
supervisors fractured an ankle, his costs were $500 for treatment and
therapy.
