I am fairly well off I'd say...
Then I was thinking "What happens if tomorrow I get injured and cannot work for 12 months".
- I lose my place of living because I can't afford the bills
- I move into my parent's house
- My family loses their health insurance entirely.
- I have to pay for COBRA... but I don't have a job...
- I may need to take out loans to just get by for some time till I can get my health back in order.
Yeah we have ZERO social safety nets.
