Do I really need AFLAC or other supplemental Insurance?

For years I’ve seen these goofy commercials with the squaking duck, Yogi Berra and other scatter-brained males. A friend finally told me about AFLAC insurance that he has and how it pays for preventative medical tests, etc and for costly situations like cancer, etc.

But, I thought all of that was covered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield? Do I really need insurance beyond my standard employee health insurance?

AFLAC must be pretty successful to pay for all those TV commercials. But, I only know one person (a hypochondriac, in my mind) who has this insurance. Are there competitors to AFLAC? Other options?

Thanks.
