Ok so I'll come clean as well... I have PHL and have had it since college and maybe even before that.

Ok, I have to ask...what's PHL?

Are you sure you don't mean MPB?

I am not a bookmaker, but I do look at the odds. Plenty of stats about uninsured/underinsured young breadwinners who start a GoFund page when one of the breadwinners can't work due to disability (even for a few weeks) or death.

My wife fell late January and will probably not return to work until late April or early May. We will have $6k in OOP medical bills and she will take a 30% hit on her pay once she runs out of sick days.

We can absorb the lost pay and cover the OOP for medical. But a lot of folks, especially the young ones with student loan debt, credit card debt, etc would be in a deeper hole if this happened to them.

Interesting you should mention the odds... Chances during a persons lifetime

Of having a house fire?...... 1 in 1200

Of having to use you car insurance? ...... 1 in 47

Of a female developing cancer? ...... 1 in 3

Of a male developing cancer? ......... 1 in 2

Yet people who declare cancer insurance a bad buy would not dare go without homeowners or auto insurance..

Premature Hair Loss... I wasn't supposed to loose my hair until I was 92! Doesn't matter what pattern it made when it left... it just let too soon!

My wife had an uncle like that.

Said they never worked.

Family told him he had to put them in his ears and turn them on.
