There sure is. What I don't understand is how someone can skip health 
insurance for that. There is all that lamentation about how 
"unaffordable" it is in the US and, under Obamacare it largely has 
become unaffordable for the middle class over 400% FPL, but so far all 
people I met who didn't have health care did so per choice. One lost 
almost the whole colon because of it :-(

They all think "Oh, nothing really bad is going to happen to me". And 
then it does.
