If you get ten random people in a group, four of the ten will have a cancer diagnosis at some point in their life.  But no one knows which four.  So that is one of life's uncertainties.  Are you trying to say that all of the ten people should be saving up money as if a cancer diagnosis is coming?

Yes, savings for many things should happen but aren't. I also believe that the individual market that we both want should be the primary mechanism for catastrophic coverage and the like, not employer or group based coverage for every possible health need no matter how routine. Especially with the history of failure of HMOs, Capitation, Managed Care, and just about every other planned and controlled finance scheme to draw on to make it better.
