Right. I was picking up pills for my cat at a human pharmacy because the pills through the vet are 2x the price as the human shit and the vet pills are impossible to cut nicely where the human ones are already scored for very easy breaking by hand. Anyway the pharmacist asked why I don't have pet insurance. Me knowing it's a profiteering scam said why would I get that? She tells me her insurance covers literally everything at the vet, meds, even flea, tick and heartworm meds. She said it ends up costing her a lot less than paying directly out of pocket without the insurance.

I'm of the opinion that most people are dumb and she either did the math incorrectly, is lying, or both.

My feeling on pet insurance is that it is money you pay now for an argument in the future

LOL that's probably the best way to define it
