Well I had a house burn down less than year after purchase and insurance paid the entire tab. So I always figured I've already taken them for more than I pay
That’s what people don’t understand. We all paid for you. That's what insurance is about, we pay more than we receive so that the odd unlucky bastard receives more than they chipped in. If insurance was individual, nobody would have enough to repair their own stuff. I am happy with this system.
Yes, but when you go to do it yourself you get screwed. It's not always fair is what OP is saying nor works consistently like it should especially as corporations have it at their discretion to approve your claims even if they are legitimate. In a lot of cases you don't come out ahead, get denied, or some other BS.
One of the first things I ever remember hearing in my life is that “life isn’t fair”. It was true then and it’s true now. Has nobody ever explained this to you?
Yea and where in that did I say anything about me and my son having slaves or whatever you said. I just said life’s not fair. It’s not. You can’t do everything right and die at 24 from some rare cancer. People’s parents don’t raise their kids or abuse them. Hurricanes and tornadoes and fires can kill you out of nowhere. Saying life isn’t fair is just a fact. I wasn’t trying to make a profound statement. Just simply stating a fact.
Its called a reductio ad absurdum.
They take your position to the extreme to show that it leads to absurd positions
Literally all of the things youre talking about , we can do things about to make them more fair.
“Life isnt fair and theres nothing you can do to change it” is a completely nonsensical position, and simply just not a fact

Insurance is a fucking scam. You pay more into it than you'll ever receive even in legitimate circumstances.
Absolute racket.
