Just recently, we were discussing a possible change in medical insurance coverage with some neighbors and people we know. They had changed their plans in the past couple of years and were telling us all about the cost savings. We remained just a bit skeptical and this week, we spoke with an independent broker who advised us to keep the plan we have had for many years. It is more costly than our friends, but if we were to have any medical emergencies, we would not pay a lot of $$ as they may have to do. Something in our minds cautioned us to not make a change. Sorry the man in your story also did not trust his inner judgement.Beatrice P.

Each story had a meaning that would help me journey through life. <br /><br />As to the person who tries to deceive and the person who is deceived, I find both at fault. The first one knows about gullibility and takes advantage of that. In his/her arrogance, he/she lies. The person who relies on the lie and believe it, is often ignorant of the facts. (Not stupid, but ignorant.) If only someone tells him/her the facts as they really are, then this person can find the truth and be free of the deceit of the other person. Peace.

I am glad you shared that story but I really don't like it, because it shows how people are just so happy to mess with people's minds for their own gain.
