      Good advice for any business or individual.  :)

      Too many people with insurance don't care how much something costs since   
   "insurance will pay it".  Seldom, if ever, realising this is why their   
   premiums continue to go up.   
      Until I turned 65 and had to go on Medicare, I had no health insurance,   
   it was either out of pocket or workers comp (if on the job).   
      The times I would have dental/medical work done and told them I was   
   paying cash I got strange looks with a receptionist asking a co-worker "can he   
   do that?"   
      And my payments were often half what insurance would charge since a lot   
   less paper work involved.   
      Insurance is a racket.  The company is betting it will never be used,   
   the customer betting it will pay if needed.
