Hi strawbale,
A insurrance man gave some great advice many moons ago. Insurrance is to protect assets. The more assets you have the more protection you need.
When borrowing money for any adventure, always buy disability insurrance to make the loan payments as there's more chance you'll have injury more than there is dying.
When I retired, I was offered health insurrance at $335/mth to continue my coverage. I didn't have alot of assets that I could loose. The homestead law is a wonderful tool.
We've always been pretty healthy and so has been our family members so what I did is take the $335/mth and bank it for the just incase. Were so far ahead of the game now as our medical costs are less than $1000/yr for both of us. I sure don't have to ask if I can see the Doc I want to see or get refused the medical attention I want.
But you have to use common sence too. We don't take alot of risks. We research our own medical problems before going to the doctor. I just went in to get a boil lanced on my belley and the doc wanted a CT scan before he would lance the boil as my stomach was tender. Well ya it was tender as I had a huge honking pimple 4" in diameter. It sure didn't take rocket sicence to figure that out. It poped on it's own a couple hours latter and with salt soaked compressions it's gone now.
I did raise my libility auto/property insurrance a couple years back as I now have more assets that I want protected.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
