Bernie Roehl mentions that the insurance companies try to set their rates
to be attractive to as many as possible.

What Bernie missed was the FACT that for many things (especially autos)
insurance is required by law.  The insurance companies need not set too
attractive a rate, and many who DO, avoid paying off on their policies.

Actually, the insurance companies only have to make sure that they are 
PERCEIVED as having attractive rates.  They can and therefore do rip
off anyone they can by making it SEEM that they are setting a good rate
when they're actually cheating a large portion of thier clientele.
