He was the owner of the machine shop and had no insurance on the shop either. He never had health insurance he told me because he said he never would need it.
Kind of tough when you wake up with chest pains, lol.
I knew someone who owned a home but not much else. She was in the hospital for 3 weeks while they tried to figure out what was wrong (it was her appendix). Hospital sued her and she had to pay them $25 a month.

Insurance is a gambling event. The House (the insurance company) is betting that you'll live forever and never die. You (the player) are betting that you will be sick, injured, for long-term, and die before you get old.
The truth of the matter is, you will be sick, you will get injured, and you will die. Eventually, all of these things will happen to you at least once. If you think the odds are with the House, you are wrong. This is the one time when the odds are with you. It's also why it's a good idea to get insurance if you possibly can, especially if you own a business working on machines that have been known to permanently maim and even kill users.
Yes they do, but there are different types that affect different clotting factors, so the restrictions/warnings vary somewhat. Mostly warnings about bruising and serious cuts (not minor like a cat scratch ), symptoms that might suggest a cranial or spinal bleed, and letting other providers like a dentist know you take them. Haven't really noticed anything of concern yet. Like so many things they have to warn you about every possibility...the vast majority of which never occur.
And hopefully they won't. My sister has afib and takes Eloquis. She tells me that sometimes when she's gotten a pretty good scrape, or a cut it'll bleed, mostly oozing blood, for longer than one would expect normally. But when she applies pressure on the area as long as needed the bleeding stops.
Just be careful walking around in icy areas, though. My sister ( who lives in Minnesota), had a nasty fall on black ice several years ago, hit her head on the concrete, fractured her skull and had a serious brain bleed. She had a traumatic brain injury, spent a number of months between the hospital and rehab, regaining her lost skills and health. She was very lucky, she got most everything back. She never has regained her sense of smell back, but counts her blessings that there wasn't more lasting damage.
They never once suggested that even with this brain bleed she stop taking the Eloquis.
I know hospitals are not your friend when comes too money. I have a friend that had no health insurance was in the hospital for a two months and in Coma from a machine shop accident which he was hit in the head by a steel bar. His bill was 600,000 and the hospital sold everything of his to pay the bill. The only thing they couldn't sell was his house.
And we have the most wonderful health care system in the world!
