If I get cancer, I die.

Not necessarily

It happens.

It also doesn't happen.

I’m almost 60

Congratulations, young feller. You're now entering the period in your life where you need at least catastrophic care coverage the most. Been screened for cancer lately?

One good $100,000 medical bill will probably take your family out financially.

The Lord will take me when he wants me.

True, that's why he gave you oncologists.

If you decline treatment for cancer, it will likely be a very long and very painful death....and probably unnecessary.

I don’t need cancer insurance.

Yeah ya do. If you think premiums are high, try paying for radiation and chemotherapy out of pocket.

I said in my post that I have not been screened, nor do I intend to be. It will not cost $100,000 because to be charged for a treatment you have to actually get the treatment.

How much did it cost people who got cancer in 1700?

You call me old. The Bible pegs the average lifespan at 70 years. I’m not young. But I’m also very active. I just stopped doing the annual one day Seattle to Portland bike ride because I have the heart fibrillation thing. Last time I did it I hit a wall like bonking but it took many hours to recover. I keep myself to rides under 50 miles now, just in case.

It is also why the one thing I do concern myself with is stroke.

Regarding cancer, just give me some pain medication.

Also, I own this on DVD. I no longer support the cancer industry in any way, shape or form.

Ever heard of Max Gerson?

I agree - I just got out of the hosp. after lung cancer surgery. I’m 77. My wife is 64 and has had uterine and breast cancer after she was 55. I also had AAA repair last year.

I’m counting on another 15 years of good life, but couldn’t do it without my $161/mo. insurance.
