Uh-huh. This being a world where accidents and disease happen despite
our best efforts, however, it's much nice to not have to pay the full
amount for a necessary procedure, like having broken body parts fixed
up or tumors removed, etc.

Anyway, old farts have the option of Medicare (though the so-called
prescription drug benefit is a scam).
