I think you are onto something. Since the insurance industry has pretty much written us cancer people off for at least 5 years, we need to get creative.
If we were able to invest the money we spent on insurance premiums. Which would be at top rate since as cancer patients we are now very high risk. Then is done wisely we could build our own little nest eggs.
Guess thats one for David. Creative financing to build a nice sum.
