you are still likely to burden your heirs with substantial medical bills.
Only if your next-of-kin is a spouse, I think. Otherwise, creditors get first cut at the estate, but if that doesn't pay the bills, they go begging. (Legally, anyway. They might try and scare money out of folks.)
(FWIW, I'm on the fence on the issue, leaning towards your side of it.)
