Marie, to me the responsible way to live my life was to pay for health 
insurance and do well enough to have enough left over to pay for the  part of 
my healthcare that insurance didn't cover.  Other people put other priorities 
first.  I am not saying that my way was the right way, I'm just saying that 
heretofore, I thought it was the 'responsible' way.  Who knows what the 
future will bring .  I only know how I have lived up to now.
