Got news for you, Jill. Your auto insurance also charges for that. Look
at the list of charges on your next or last auto insurance bill.

I have AAA. My annual renewal last October was $57.

It includes 3 trips a year from a tow truck for whatever reason.
Includes many other benefits too that I would rarely need. It's a better
deal than what my insurance company offered.

All insurance companies are a for-profit company.
A few people get more benefits than they paid for but most people pay
more in premiums that they get back.
