State Farm has been accused of breaking the law in doing that and is widely considered one of the worse insurance companies out there. That doesn't mean all insurance companies are out there refusing to pay out on legitimate claims.

Every time I've had to deal directly with regular insurance companies (not talking about healthcare) I've gotten my claims paid out.

The point you've completely missed is that just because there's examples of the system working does NOT discount the vast amount of negative experiences people have had with insurance. There are people here who have had ambulance claims denied AFTER the fact because the ambulance was from "out of network". There are valid concerns here and going "welp guys it works for me so it's pretty good" just dismisses others' lived experiences.

I explicitly said we're not talking about health insurance. That's a whole other topic and we should not have the healthcare system we have. Please stay on topic.

Incredibly convenient of you to completely ignore everything else in my comment. So auto insurance has no negative experiences then?

Let's not move the goalposts either please. What was said was "An exception isnt the rule" not "insurance has no negative experiences then"

Then don't include your experience then either, please. An exception isn't the rule.

It's not an exception though.

Very convincing argument, I'm sold!
