I am very, very grateful for insurance. I urge everyone to follow twicepaid's advice to prepare, whether you prepare the same way she does or some other way.

I have an HSA and have been sticking a lot of money into it...mostly to prepare for probable oral surgery in two years. I'm also getting my braces federal tax free!
