You would have his or her insurance issue you a check for the estimated repair and a rental car. Then you repair it the cheap way and pocket the difference. Someone once hit me from behind. I called her insurance and they sent and insurance adjuster. He said I have two options. I can get it repaired and the pay directly the garage or they can pay me an estimate. I opted for the estimate and pocketed the a $500 profit. Their estimates are always for thorough repairs. No, you would not get it fixed the expensive way.

A friend of mine was just telling me about how he's become a conscious consumer of health care as a result of a cheap health care plan. The doctor told him, "I'm 90% certain this isn't ___ but I'm going to run a test just in case." Since my friend knew he was footing the bill for any lab work he said NO THANKS! Maybe we need more lousy insurance plans instead of cadillac plans. Great point!

The gov't is spending other people's money. Maybe that is why this country is so in debt. The gov’t is spending other people’s money.
