Yeah, but that's not why you're paying insurance, otherwise you could just self-insure. You're paying a monthly premium (or foregoing salary) to protect against a huge cost you can't afford; same reason you have homeowners, car, etc. Each month you've paid for risk protection and you've received it, which means at the end of each month you're accounts with your insurance companies are settled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
