Re: "Millions of Americans Are About to Lose Their Health Insurance in a Pandemic"
This was part - a small part - of why I defied two cardiologists' recommendations to have a tissue valve installed. I'd already read an article with feedback where a reader mentioned that she'd had a tissue valve put in about fifteen years ago and now had to have it done again. Now, though, she lacked health insurance. That would seriously suck!

I made the decision early that heart surgery wasn't something to be trifled with. I *never* wanted to have it done again, and tissue valves only last 12 years on average (sometimes just 7.) I sorta, kinda hope that I'll live at least that much longer.

The synthetic valve I got is laboratory rated at one hundred years. It shouldn't matter if my health insurance ever goes away; the valve will outlive the rest of my body.
