That is so fortunate! It’s scary to think of life without insurance, and major medical can be so expensive on your own. I’m glad Aflac took care of you guys!

We had put it off until we couldn’t put it off any longer. 5 months of being totally disabled and out of work. In Utah, there is no state disability insurance or any safety net for medical issues unless your company offers something. If you can’t work, you just go without. Fortunately, we had an Aflac policy through his tiny company and a very small private disability policy that we had purchased so long ago, they had to dig into the microfiche to discover our coverage amounts. Between the two of them, it was enough to keep the house payment paid and keep us afloat. Otherwise, it could have been much harder.
