    You can point out someone is wrong but still agree with the spirit of what they’re saying…

    It rarely goes over well, but I do it all the time. And I’m pretty fucking progressive.

    Like, if people honestly thinks their insurance took a vow to protect them, it needs to be corrected. They’re not saying it shouldn’t be changed, but the first step to fixing it is understanding where we’re at.

      Like this guy has a point they dont have a duty of care, they didnt take an oath, they are a private for profit company with shareholders. They will absolutely take as much as they can, give you as little as they can and be as cunty about it as they can get away with.

      Its fucking WRONG but its not surprising.

      To be honest, I hadn’t interpreted the quoted toot (man I do hate that they are called toots) as trying to educate people on how insurance works. In that light I do agree with what you are saying, people should be aware of how these systems actually work.

      Apologies if this post is coming off as overly ‘smug liberal’.
