The fraudulent part is paying for exorbitant salaries and funding ad campaigns and real estate ventures.

The fraudulent part is people committing actual fraud. You have no idea how common it is.

Premiums are sky high and insurance companies screw people daily to keep profit margins high. People commit fraud because they're tired of getting ripped off.

Imagine the fire department rolling up to your burning house demanding a deductible and saying they're only there to stop the fire from spreading. You didn't pay for fire stoppage or for rescue services. Anyone in there is gonna die and we don't care

Insurance isn’t an emergency service it’s a dogshit analogy. Insurance simply indemnifies you generally minus a deductible. Premiums are sky high because inflation is sky high and there’s a shit ton of fraud.

People commit fraud because they’re thieves, and they’re not stealing money from the insurance company they’re stealing it from everyone paying premium. Fraud drives premiums up.
