So, perhaps we should all pay for preventive care out of our pocket. Insurance will kick in for sickness or accidents. However, if you don't keep up to date with your preventive maintenance (annuals, etc) then the insurance won't cover sickness/accidents... because they are less likely to occur if you keep well on a continual basis... and if you are going for checks problems can be caught before they get too bad and are MUCH MORE expensive to fix.

I'd vote for that. But you know as well as I do Bob that it's way too logical.
