Okay, that was a bad example. I've never carried comprehensive/collision insurance, so I mistakenly thought there was coverage for mechanical failures. As you stated, this is not common.

True, but that's still not preventative any more than a tooth filling is (Sorry, switched industries, but I think it still makes sense).

Health insurance is different from most other forms of insurance, though - auto insurance, for example, doesn't pay for oil changes to mitigate the risk of expense of future liability claims.

I'm not sure I'd rather have the FBI in possession of their signing key either :)

Confusing title - to add some clarification from the article:

> He's a federal police officer at the Marine Corps Air Station-Miramar in San Diego.

Ronnie, the male passenger is employed as a Federal police officer, but his wife (driving) does not have her employment specified, nor are they driving an official vehicle or on Federal business. He also sounds more worried about losing his job than having his employer go to bat for him:

> "It makes me angry that someone would attack my character because not only do they attack my character, but that could cost me my job," Ronnie said.

Is there any proof to the value of questions relating abstracts like the following:

1. I like to ask about other people's well-being

OR

2. I let the past stay in the past

Choosing Statement 1 would give subjects a greater other-regarding score, whereas choosing Statement 2 predicts a subject to be self-regarding
