I'm good with this as long as it applies to future debt as well. I don't have medical debit because I haven't been able to afford medical care out of pocket and I won't take on debt. So I have been to the doctor once and the dentist not at all in the last 19 years. But hell yeah I'll go if it'll get paid for.
