But hey, if somebody says you should buy something to give yourself an edge, most pilots do haha
Also comparing this insurance to any other insurance such as primary health insurance isn't really apples to apples either. However I see value in my health insurance as I not only avoid a penalty due to it being required, I also enjoy getting to take my sick kids to the doctor for only a co-pay each visit as well as not paying the full cost of labor and delivery come later this summer
Please do enlighten me on how I could not take an early retirement if I take this insurance (and of course adequate coverage) and lose my medical for one of the qualifying events (no drunk driving accident, etc).
That is the purpose of this insurance. That's why it extends to age 65.
