I keep health insurance to prevent something large from bankrupting me. Certainly, I expect to pay cash towards a deductible for minor healthcare needs. That said, our premiums are very low thanks to the ACA subsidies. Many folks can qualify for a free Bronze plan. Would an ACA Bronze plan (which might be free or close to it) not be a better option to cover not only activity injuries (broken wrist, etc), but also cover major unexpected medical needs (i.e., cancer)?

Working in healthcare I do understand the value of health insurance, but what we see typically and I experience personally as well as in my social circles is that most healthy individuals don’t utilize their insurance. Typically having to pay out of pocket towards their deductible. If that’s the case it may even be easier to for go health insurance and just pay cash for medical expenses, which honestly is a lot of times cheaper than the contracted rates providers have with insurance companies. Then it would be smart to pick up an “accident insurance” such as Spot. For a lot of us we carry insurance for the potential accident during our outdoor activities. This option is much cheaper and may allow some flexibility. Just some thoughts!
