As stupid as this sounds, when I was 23, I got a plantar's wart on the bottom of my foot. Took 4 attempts of laser removal in a hospital until it finally never came back - no including the 3 attempts by my primary to freeze it off. Cost me about $60 when everything was said and done. Actual cost: about $2500 *per surgery*.
At 23, how exactly would I have paid for a $10,000 medical bill? I wouldn't have. The wart would have spread and got worse, and I'd probably still be dealing with it today.
But people in their 20's don't need health insurance, right?
