Thumbs - jewelers syndrome?

I am replying to the no health insurance. If one makes a choice
not to have health insurance they should have a plan for self
insurance. 

Excuse the interjection, but I originally posted this issue.This was
about thumb injury due to Jewelry work, not insurance.Please don’t
pass judgement on our financial situations or inability to afford
health care.

That hits a sore spot right now. Thank you to all of you for your
helpful and considerate advice.
