During this pandemic period really had me looking back into my current medical card policy. The coverage is only valid up to the age of 70 years old. Is it worth it to raise the age coverage beyond 70 as it is quite costly?

It is a decision between steady payments and a potential giant shock.

Which would you prefer?

You have a valid point there...

I just wish to help people get out of the conundrum of "is it worth it?"

From a risk management perspective, the real questions are:
"what is the potential impact of this risk if left unplugged?"
"can we afford to risk it?"

If we can afford to risk it, then sure, roll that dice.

If we can't afford to risk it, then how can we manage it?
- how can we minimize the risk?
- how can we prevent it?
- if all else fails, how can we transfer it?

In its essence, insurance is a risk transfer tool.
