So, Now What?

Great Coverage

Is there anything that they won't insure these days? I saw something recently about travel insurance and it got my brain whirring about what would actually be covered in a policy like that.

Does it cover things like lost luggage or reservation cancellations, or is more for insuring that your travelers checks don't bounce?

I do have to say that whoever originally came up with the idea for insurance was a genius. He or She was able to get people to pay good money for something that they didn't want. Let me say that again. They are paying for a service that they hope to NEVER use. How awesome is that? Add on top the fact that insurance is usually required for a lot of things and you have yourself a pretty nice racket.

Now all you have to do is create penalties that discourage people from ever making claims and you are rolling in the dough. Oh wait, somebody already did that too.
