Can you be sure that you will always get home from work without tangling with a truck?
That's what catestrophic policies were for, and they used to cost a few hundred per year.
THAT.


My parents had one of those way, way back.. Then, one day, the insurance company just up and cancelled the policy w/o a word of explanation.. Dad was pizzed.. So he decided to self-insure.. Nobody out-worked my father, and he did quite well over his lifetime..
