She may have paid $1978.63, but if an accident were to happen (which we all know you can't plan for) that $1978.63 could have saved her thousands. That cost of the insurance once a month more then pays itself off if it something horrible was to happen. Its no difference then health insurance. You ARE going to pay for months, for years (if ever!) you really need it. Some people don't think its worth the investment, some do. In the end... not having it when you need it is a lot more limiting then having it all along and spending more then you needed to have the coverage when a serious situation arises.
We can all complain about the cost of health insurance when we don't need it, but when WE do need it.... paying all that money for when you don't need it becomes incredibly important.
You may not feel that having dog insurance is worth it in case of accidents - but many of us do. I am thankful that you've never had to pay high emergency vet bills, but many of us worry about having to do so! You don't buy pet insurance to cover routine things (at least not a $70 a month policy) you buy it to cover the things you can't plan for.
Your post was written in a way that was incredibly condescending and totally uncalled for.
This post IMO was created to show that these insurance companies do actually pay. It was not a invitiation for you to tell us "But you obvioulsy aren't an accountant...." and that you think its illogical. Not only is that off topic but its not at all necessary. |
Totally agree with you! The post was incredibly condescending. Then their next post had to mention how big the grant project was that they oversee. Sounds to me like someone wants to appear superior, and they picked the wrong place to do it.
As for the OP, good for you for the insurance and getting reimbursed! Just remember, some people try to make themselves feel better by putting others down.
