re: #81 klys

I can’t believe someone actually typed with a straight face something about being forced to pay for these things they don’t need in driving up the cost of health insurance.

It’s apparently all the rage. Goopers and Libertarians are suddenly discovering that most people don’t actually need everything that their insurance covers. Usually, they shut up when you point that most people don’t “need” car insurance or life insurance or homeowners’ insurance, by that definition.

Honest to god, they remind me of a guy I used to work with who didn’t have car insurance, who told me, when I asked what he planned to do if he got into an accident, “I don’t plan to get into an accident.”

To this day, I still don’t know if he was joking. His usual deadpan wasn’t that good.
