    Life insurance is actually pretty good about paying out. Their racket is more about the aggressive way they sell you the wrong policy to begin with. They make their money at the time of purchase, rather than by denying pay outs.

    In fact, most insurance, other than health insurance, is actually run fairly well. It’s almost like an insurance model isn’t the correct model to use for handling healthcare.










  • The victim isn’t at fault for being depressed, or having a mangled hand, or whatever analogy we want to use. However, if they go out with friends and expect them to take the problem more seriously than they, themselves, are taking it, then they have some measure of fault for imposing their problem on the friend. If they are seeking treatment that just isn’t working, or they are unable to get proper treatment for other reasons, that’s a different story and I’ll have a lot more sympathy.

    It all boils down to not expecting someone to take your problem seriously for long if you are not taking it seriously yourself.
