I may have solved a mystery'

Some time ago I blogged about the fact that I receive frequent requests from my supplemental insurance provider urging me to schedule a home visit. The last mailing I got about this even offered me a $15 gift card if I would let them come.  Today I had another phone call urging me to have this home visit.  I decided to dig a little deeper.  I usually just say "No thank you." and hang up but I decided to listen to what the young man had to say for a little while and try to get some questions answered.  I was assured that he was very happy that I was healthy and that I do get my annual check ups from my regular doctor. he explained that what they would do would be check me out physically, address any questions and concerns I might have about my health and discuss with me "my plans for long term health care." Ah hah! Now I understand.  They want to sell me more insurance. Why should I be surprised?
