>> I was simply making the point that insurance isn't about saving money and never was. Wow, what a moron. To the insured, insurance is frequently about saving money. The insurer reduces costs to those insured by managing providers - requiring strict, published, scheduled limits and reduced charges for all services, (the provider may even be required to offer certain services free of charge, like cleaning and checkups). The provider agrees to charge reduced rates for those services, in exchange for the guarantee of payment for services by the insurer and/or the insured, and the regular, steady referral of clients from large pools. The insurer negotiates very good deals for members of their networks. Yes, its called insurance, bozo. And it is very much about saving money. But I guess you must like to pay the uninsured rates, LOL.
