People seem to think that they should only have to pay for themselves. Okay, but many will find the cost of medical care beyond their means. Anyway, that's not what insurance is all about. Insurance is where everyone contribute to a pool of money to 'ensure' that they can cover the costs if need be. If you do require to draw on it, you have contributed. If you have no occasion to use it for paying medical expenses, you still have used it. You have used it to provide freedom from that particular worry. It has provided you security and comfort. To say you may not get you money back is to completely misapprehend the nature of the beast. It isn't fun to make monthly payments with the expectation that you won't need it but I don't want to pay for those who have decided to rely upon my generosity so that they can pocket what is, in essence, my money.

It isn’t fun to make monthly payments with the expectation that you won’t need it but I don’t want to pay for those who have decided to rely upon my generosity so that they can pocket what is, in essence, my money.

Therefore when we continue to write the check month after month, we feel as if we are pouring money right down the drain. Even though you've never had to make a claim on your insurance, there is a good reason that its there. Naturally insurance is there to protect yourself and your investment, but let's face it; many of us wouldn't bother with insurance if it wasn't required by law or the bank.

But, my resolutions will likely last no longer than those of most people. I resolve to write about more pleasant topics in the coming year.
