It sounds good, but unfortunately, it's just not true.  You aren't covered by the insurance, and you aren't buying a membership.  Did you read the original announcement from the BoD that started this discussion?  The NMS is a straightforward revenue-generating tool.  Its primary purpose is not insurance-related; it's to raise money.

Exactly.  The insurance is to protect them if we (or our heirs and assigns) sue the corporation.  We are not what they are insuring for.  We are what they are insuring *against*.
