I don't own a home but I have money in the bank to buy one. In the past (before Obamacare), someone like myself could buy high deductible health insurance that would only cover catastrophic events like you describe. I could break my arm and go to a doctor, pay cash without involving an insurance company. Now ObamaCare requires that I have full a coverage plan that costs much more than what I would need to protect myself from being a financial burden to you or anyone else. And in case you weren't aware, going to the emergency room isn't free if you have any assets. They send you a bill.
