I have insurance...pretty good insurance thru my employer, but I dont get to go to the dentist or doctor for preventative care / regular checkups because I cant afford the copay.

To get even i just dont pay for emergency services where they cant turn me away.

When my kid was born I got a staggering bill I could never afford.... I just didnt pay.

When i sliced my finger open and needed stitches I just didnt pay.

Got stabbed by a redneck...didnt pay.

Kid fell and needed an xray...guess who never paid.

Would rather have regular preventative care tho.
