I genuinely feel like insurance companies have too much power. It's something required for day to day life but they get to set the terms on a whim and you just have to put up with it. People easily get screwed over by these companies and not a single politician or elected official brings up what's going on.

My parents got pet insurance the first day they adopted a puppy. Within a week he had blood in his urine and the insurance refused to cover it. Then he got his toe cut and infected, again the insurance refused to cover it. They also said future issues with legs, gait, walking or anything that can be linked to the amputated toe won't be covered. If pet insurance doesn't cover medical issues or injuries, what the hell does it cover?

It covers whatever you don't actually need. I'm sorry your family went through that. It sucks to find yourself in that kind of position.

Bleed the rich. Any person or business that amasses such insane wealth should be made exempt from protection by the law. You are Bond Villain rich, you are responsible for your own safety. But you are also still subject to prosecution, no building electric fences and handing grenades to your henchmen.

Overnight a huge burden is lifted from law enforcement and after a couple years the trickle down model will start to work as multinationals find the point at which increasing wages stops theft by employees!
