9. I had a wake-up call when a friend got sick
She was an operatic singer and she developed TMJ and some throat problem that kept her from singing (this is nowhere near as bad as what you went through, but it's just the story I know).

Her insurance company saw that she was insured for the treatment, looked at the cost of the treatment, and simply canceled her policy and returned her premiums for that year. And now nobody will insure her because of her pre-existing condition.

I love Obama's plan to mandate that insurance companies actually cover people.
