It costs zero dollars to say “it is what it is”

    here in the US, we pay for health insurance, not healthcare – to stretch the metaphor, you’re not subscribing for hugs, you’re subscribing for a chance to claim a hug at some future date – if you qualify and you don’t have a pre-existing condition

      Putting it into the metaphor makes it so much worse.

      Here, subscribe for a chance to claim a hug in the event you might need a hug, but if you need a special hug you are more than likely not going to get it, and if you have ever needed a hug in the past then you can’t get the subscription.
