Nonsense; this is a complete misunderstanding. Again, the reason we have insurance, or other more efficient ways of providing heath care to everybody, is that we can't know the future. More like you sit down at the table, and they deliver stuff more or less at random. Some get PB&J, some get soup, some get the fish fry, and some get a big juicy spider with a side of cat turds. Ask Aulikki; did she 'order' her aneurysm? Tell us what you've 'ordered', then, exactly what medical care you're going to need in the next five years?
