This is such a bizarre talking point; I've thankfully never had to use most of the types of insurance that I have for me and my family This is a good excuse to share my WSJ letter to the editor explaining that "not filing a claim doesn’t mean you didn’t need insurance" www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

I often had my Chicago Booth students in mind when I was writing, but I also wrote with my friends and family in mind, as well -- I wanted the book to be the answer to the Busytown mystery of "What Do Health Economists Do All Day?"
