Obviously I was a bit exaggerating in my post. I'm happy enough that I don't need a doctor often. What I do get miffed about, is the fact that I have been paying thousands upon thousands for insurance for years, and *if* I need something, such as new glasses (which is a serious cost in my case), I *still* have to pay for them myself. I can get a €200 discount every two years, but firstly, it doesn't stack; if you make a claim after four years, you'll only get €200. Secondly, the cost is €7.50 a month to be able to make the claim. That comes down to €180.
So, I would need to first pay €180, and then get new glasses every two years (which are *a lot* more expensive than €200), for a total 'savings' of €20. That's useless.
