[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d do it if I had medical issues that required frequent visits and medication titrations. Modern corporate health is just ridiculous. I say this as a doctor who can’t get my patients follow ups because my system shoves new patients in my schedule to make more money. [b]When I’m older and need it, I’ll 100% pay for what I need health wise[/b]- without health what are we?[/quote]

Well of course, you’re a dr who doesn’t have any financial concerns whatsoever. Most people have to think about money.[/quote]

It's about choices.  My own parents were LMC or poor...I ate free lunch for at least 3 years while in ES/MS.  They never made more than $40K/year between the two of them.  Very frugal, but have chronic health issues so happily find the way to pay $200/month even while retired to keep their doc once he went concierge.  It's a luxury they are willing to pay for.  (these are people who did not have Color tv until 2000 and never have had cable or any pay service for watching tv.  They drive for 90% of their vacations.  They live extremely frugally and go out to eat maybe once every 2 weeks.  They were in their 50s before they had AC in a car or home.

So people who think about money can still make this choice---you just have to give up something else.  [/quote]
