Some of you are aware that I had to visit the emergency room at my local hospital the week before last.  While working out and taking part in a challenge from a dear friend to do twenty two push-ups a day for twenty two days, I tore an abdominal muscle.  It was painful enough for me to go see a doctor which, if you know me, is not my favorite thing to do.  This brings me to insurance, something I must admit, I completely do not understand.  I’m not looking for help in understanding how I pay and pay and pay and when its time to use it, I pay again.  No, what I want to mention is how a certain company that has a duck or goose for their mascot managed to impress the heck out of me.  After my visit, while lying there thinking about how bummed I was that I have to “take it easy for a while”, I remembered that I have “supplemental insurance”.  The television ads make it sound so simple I just had to give it a try.  It took me about ten minutes to file the claim and a bout forty eight hours for a check to arrive with not only the amount of my co-pay, but a bit more for other things.  I was so happy there was no surprises at all with this transaction and that they do what they say they are going to do.  I recommend to everyone reading this to look up the duck and get that supplemental insurance, it is so worth it.  @aflac #greatdeal #doitoryourdumb
