Its funny how some products and services delivered have become marketed so intensely that they literally are considered as necessities nowadays. My example of this is a very simple one, insurance! Without insurance, and being an international student here in UBC, i’d have to pay 15000 a night if i were to be hospitalized, which is obviously ridiculous, and so there is insurance, MSP is currently 57$ per month and pretty much mandatory for me in the event that something would happen overseas. So with the help of the $15000 imposed without insurance, and the uncertainty of whether or not u will be need the hospital, you pay 57$ in my case to insurance. Now it would be interesting to find out how they calculated the amount!
