But make no mistake, you are buying emotional well being. It is not cost-justified from a pure mathematical sense because, as I am sure you understand, even assuming perfect risk assessment by the insurance company (which is a lot to assume), insurance is always a net loss for the insureds when taken as a whole because of the costs involved in administering it.

Define need.
We were not talking about some extra gap insurance but under or “self” insuring.
