I have to say I don't understand this position. A broken foot is one thing, but what if you get diagnosed with cancer? What if you simply come down with a real bad case of food poisoning and need to spend a few days in a hospital? Right there you're talking 6 figure hospital bill. I understand being able to pay for the minor stuff, but any serious health issue literally can bankrupt you overnight.
