It's like saying that I have car insurance so I don't have to pay for a new windshield. Really I already paid for that windshield via my insurance premiums.

But also your insurance provider collectively bargained the cost of a new windshield down to $20 as long as you go to their mechanic.

I’ve never received an explanation of benefits that showed all that much of a discount. Usually it’s something like $400 adjusted down to $370.
