No, I'd pay for them to get treatment until I couldn't afford to anymore

You'd prefer that option over properly run catastrophic insurance? That is

That wasn't the question. The question is if you agreed with the linked plan,

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I don't think we do disagree. I'm assuming
