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!
