In praise of insurance

Just received a wad of EOBs (explanation of benefits) in the mail today: $31,240.01 in charges for the baby's delivery and her and my wife's hospitalization, all paid at 100%. Whew.

Speaking of child expenses, my wife went to the grocery store recently to get milk and some other staples. In the dairy aisle, where we routinely buy three gallons of milk at a time for our growing and thirsty brood, my wife happened to catch a young pregnant mother's moment of illumination. The girl looked at our milk-laden shopping cart, looked at her belly, looked at her husband, and whispered, "Oh my God - she has THREE gallons of milk!"

I suppose in 10 years we'll be buying three gallons a day.

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
