The vagaries of health. Went in for a continuing 90-day oncologist monitoring/workup this AM and a new doctor comes in the exam room and informs me my oncologist has cancer, is doing chemo, and might be back by the next scheduled visit. I saw him getting an infusion when leaving and went in and spoke with him, dude has lost 40 lbs in 90-days and wasn't fat to begin with. Another friend was diagnosed with t-cell lymphoma last year @ 47. The odds of needing $ for health related reasons prior to 60 are getting higher in my experience, plus ask many seniors what they are paying for Medicare supplemental and OOP costs and the HSA $ could come in very handy.
