We follow the work ethic. I had breast cancer. Fortunately, just AFTER treatment we lost our health insurance and were too young for Medicare. When I think of what could have happened if our insurance was taken from us before or during treatment, I shudder. We were able to get another policy, but it was extremely expensive with a very high deductible and excluded cancer and cancer treatment.

Medicare was a lifesaver.
