I was afraid I would be wiped out because I hardly ever used the fund. I just never was sick much. But it has worked out fantastic for me because we're not broke. I was allowed to basically refer myself to the Mayo Clinic. I emailed the Mayo Clinic on a Sunday and the next day, I had an appointment set for that Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock. I had five weeks of radiation prior to three extremely large surgeries. I have $3,000 in out-of-pocket costs and I'm estimating I had medical bills of around $300,000. I'm totally happy with the health fund.
