    Yeah, you’d have to pay me a lot more to even consider it, $10000 seems laughably low.

      Yeah. Someone else suggested it might cover your first ambulance ride. I’m thinking maybe your first year health insurance?

      Edit - it was just a wild guess, but here’s a badly formatted table copied from an article in Forbes:

      Age of member Average monthly costs

      • Age 21 $445
      • Age 27 $467
      • Age 30 $505
      • Age 40 $569
      • Age 50 $795
      • Age 60 $1,208

      So, for my age, my guess was almost exactly right!
