free? The premiums went up greater than the cost of whatever “free” addition was received ... but it is all free, right?

Good point.

I have tried to catch myself saying ‘at no charge’ when the word ‘free’ comes up. Its hard to do.

When you think about there is almost nothing that is ‘free’. The two things I think of are - 1) Air we breath and 2) water to drink from a stream. After those 2 items not much is really ‘free’ in any sense.

Something may be “no charge” to the end recipient. But it still cost SOMEBODY SOMETHING SOMEWHERE.

There is no free lunch. In reality there not really ‘free’ anything.
