i do and i don’t

A friend told me the other day – you know 100x more about health insurance than I do…

What a nice thing to say!

And reader, I must admit, I did have to agree to a certain extent with my friend. Through a combination of my personal experience, work history, and outside research, I do know quite a bit more about health insurance than most people. 100x more might be a bit much… but let’s just defend the formula and not the numbers, OK, dear reader?

Anyway…

So yes, I did agree somewhat – I do know a lot about this. But on the other hand, I had to admit – sure, I know a lot, but…what do I know, really, about health insurance? Quite frankly, almost nothing of value. My realization took me to a dark place – if I can be described as knowing 100x more than someone about something and yet I know basically nothing, what do I actually know? Do I know anything?

I’m sure longtime readers will agree with me on my inevitable conclusion – no, I probably don’t know anything.
