River,
Maybe this thread can be a catchall for all things medical related?
A friend of mine survives on his wits, a < $100 a month pension, and social security. He pays cash for everything including medical bills that he often negotiates with the hospital and doctors. Recently he paid $2200 in cash for a surgical procedure. The doctor's receptionist told him she'd never written a receipt for such a large amount as all she usually takes in is either mostly paid for by insurance or a few dollars for co-pay.
One of his greatest acheivements is in real estate. He once said he thought he'd never bought a house without a leaky roof. The bank was glad to be rid of his last investment and nobody else even looked at it. A real leaker from roof to basement until he fixed it. He lived in it for several years with a small converted apartment for his mother until her death. He got back 100K for his 26K investment.
