No thanks! It's very concerning to me when I see comments that say "you should get prescribed XYZ drugs...", without knowing more about a person's health history, and/or asking them if they've considered it. As I indicated, I do not have high cholesterol currently, it is on only "borderline", and as a prescribing medical doctor would know, there are many other variables that doctors must consider, prior to a medication being prescribed; there is not a "one size fits all drug".
Statins are very effective drugs at lower cholesterol, but most people realize that there are certain conditions that are helped by certain drugs. "Almost" having a condition rarely justifies someone being told they "should" get a drug. (Also, as a Moderator, I removed your link for affordable life insurance; please do not use this site to sell products).
If anyone is interested in learning about statins, I read some great information and will post it here (click on orange link).
