You make a valid point but with a small exception. The Massachusetts Homestead Act protects up to $500,000 of the value of your Massachusetts primary home from bankruptcy proceedings. You do have to have filed a declaration to be covered while still financially secure. I was a Mass. resident for 3 years before I learned of this.

Dave, I think Florida may be another. It's my understanding that Florida's homestead act is so strong, that criminals intentionally pour a lot of their money into a lavish estate because it's essentially untouchable. Maybe some of you Floridians can correct my on this if it's wrong. Don

I'm with ya', Barney. I find pillows purchased at Walmart are just fine at a fraction of the cost. Now he's also hawking sheets and mattress toppers.

Seems like they have been replaced with endless Liberty Mutual/State Farm/Allstate ads in the Portland Area.

Getting the same ads here in Tucson. I'm getting tired of watching a well aged Joe Namath hawking the product. :D

Plan F and Plan C are no longer available if you unlucky enough to have been born in 1955 or later. The Government does not want you to have a plan that pays your deductible in hopes it will stop Medicare users from going to the hospital as they will now have to pay that deductible.
I have to find some other plan (G maybe) or simply go without.

Try and be covered as much as possible. When you get admitted to a hospital, you sign a stack of papers. One of those papers gives them permission to put a lien on your home. In year 2016, 643,000 people declared medical bankruptcy. If you have a medical disaster, they take everything. Don
