Sure, but do you always get to move your care. Bustup car accident with hundreds of thousands in surgery needed will put you out. Then there's burns:

Even low-intensity treatment for moderate burns may cost $206,853 or more, if there are complications. For severe burns treated without complications, the average cost tops the million dollar mark at $1,617,345.
If this worries you, the best structure is to have your assets in a company/trust that's untouchable in bankruptcy, and self insure. That's a good idea anyway with a sue-happy US and divorce rates >50% and "common law marriage" laws in many Western countries.
