Vasectomy if you don't plan on having kids. Also consider mental healthcare. Everybody could use a little bit now and then.

OP editing their post cuz they got put off by 2 whole downvotes is a sign that, yes, it’s time to consider mental health

Vasectomy is probably free anyway.

Or crazy cheap (like copay), since it prevents lots of expenses for the insurance company.

May not be the same in all cases, but with my insurance mental healthcare is its own separate thing through a completely different company, much like dental and vision usually is. So if OP is in the same situation it's a different bucket and would have its own costs not associated with the medical deductible being met.
