going through part of open enrollment, and we're offered aflac for the first time - the list of payments for various injuries is.. interesting.

I woulda made a wee mint off the big accident - dislocation, open relocation, multiple breaks = score! (not, like, huge, but a nice vacation if, you know, I could go on one.)

anyhoo, this amused me, from the enhanced plan:

LACERATIONS (treatment and repair within 72 hours)
Under 2" long $50
2" to 6" long $200
Over 6" long $400
Lacerations not requiring stitches $25

I don't know if I'm going to do one of their plans - it'd be covering copays, mostly; and anything oop should be covered by car insurance med coverage. a $156 a year lottery-esque gamble on being injured? (I get it for car insurance and supplemental disability and life - this seems odder to me. anyone do this?)

- at least no one has to worry about me leaving a 6-inch one unaddressed for 72 hours. -- nm - b. Nov 16, 20:58
I feel like I should be doing some of this with my gay internet fiance'. if only I still had one. -- nm - b. Nov 16, 20:13
we had an oddly specific one at my old company. for loss of limb there were different payments for different fingers, which also varied depending on - mafic Nov 16, 19:55
there's a great lithograph i picked up in a London legal bookstore long time ago that shows how much body parts used to be worth at law - sweet baboo Nov 16, 19:54
Note to b's stalker...I'm thinking Mainway's Bag 'O Glass would be a perfect gift -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 16, 19:50 1
- no stalking me! (from when a past car was broken into, I actually saved some pieces of glass for a while - they were interesting and pretty.) -- nm - b. Nov 16, 19:54
it sounds like a pirates booty payout after siezing another vessel. you lose a finger or toe 3 pieces of silver. an arm 2 pieces of gold, etc. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 16, 19:46 1
- yep. we're also being offered aflac critical illness insurance - $361 a year for 20K payout - b. Nov 16, 19:52
