I thought when I wrote it that it was pretty clear.  What came before it 
indicated that I had good health coverage because I chose to pay for it 
instead of for a BMW (the payment being somewhere near the same at around 
$600/month...) and that I was pleased with my choice. I didn't think that the 
concept was all that obscure - but I guess maybe I assume that folks can read 
too often. Reminds me of an old bad joke about a (pick your downtrodden 
minority here) kid who went to school for the first day, and came home and 
announced that he had learned to write, whereupon his mom asked him to write 
something, so he made some marks upon the paper which she could not decrypt, 
so she asked him what he had written, to which he replied that he didn't 
know - he had yet to learn to READ!
