Why is it apparently cool and fine for insurance companies to spend countless billions, trillions of our money constantly buying ad time? - eviltoast

On every single professional sports game I’ve ever seen, every single show, every single channel. Isn’t this our fucking money you’re meant to give out should, god forbid, something happen?

Why is it even legal to do this? Blowing this money on CONSTANT, DUMB fucking little fucking cutesy fucking skits, not even trying to fucking pitch anything anymore, just burning money on TV and laughing at us while the fucking lemur does epic bants. it makes me so fucking sick, these people should be chained in the dungeons for the rest of their lives.

It’s illegal to not have car insurance so why the fuck do they think we need to see this constant fucking microwaved vomit fucking garbage every fucking second every fucking show every fucking channel??

thank you

    It’s not about being able to cover their liabilities, but charging ridiculous rates partially due to the fact that they also need to pay multimillion dollar advertising budgets. Or worse, bring the price down by giving shockingly low coverage that is somehow still legal.

    Worse still, our healthcare system relies nearly solely on private health insurance… and yes they do it too. See: MetLife Stadium

      I’m referring to OP’s assertion that “Isn’t this our fucking money you’re meant to give out should, god forbid, something happen?”.

      I don’t disagree that the insurance industry is a cottage industry, largely built on/supported by FUD, but that wasn’t the point of my reply.

        One of the unethical behaviors that is becoming all too common, is for an insurer to deny by default. Then if you want the reimbursement you’re owed, you have to fight for it, and not ebpveryone knows how or is willing to.

          Oh I’m sorry, being impaled on a metal pole is a pre-existing condition, so you don’t deserve coverage for it anyway! Also two hearing aids is experimental and not coveted! Mmmkay go fuck yourself byyyeeee.
