Yes, my insurance paid. Being as I am very healthy, that is all they paid for many years. And I didn’t have to waste taxpayers money on public schools , and since I didn’t have kids, no fed tax deduction. I paid more in taxes because I could not deduct children. So anything my insurance paid out was much less than someone producing babies and everyones tax dollars to educate them.
