So far this season I have had three friends tear their ACL, one friend of a friend tear her ACL, MCL and Meniscus (at once), and two friends break their arm and need surgery (one being my roommate). Unfortunately my roommate doesn't have insurance. I don't know about any of my other friends that got into accidents... but it made me think. Why's insurance so expensive? Turns out it's not anymore.
