This is the odd thing about insurance most people do not get, they care more about you than you do, they are betting that you will not get sick, you are betting against yourself, you are placing a bet that you will get sick.
That is what insurance is.
So who is better to place a bet with you? That you will get sick, other than the government, an agency that will bet with you if it is against both your and their self interest?
Think about that.
The flaw in that logic is that insurance companies hate to lose, and they spend an enormous amount of effort making sure that they don't, which is why we're even having this huge national conversation in the first place.
Most insurance company executives should be wearing orange jumpsuits and picking up trash on the roadside.

When it gets down to the "nut cuttin", about the only one who gives a shit about you is you, insurance companies level of care is about like a wheat farmer giving a rightous fuck if a city slicker in New York City has any bread to eat, no, he don't give a rat's ass, he does care that they love bread though or he'll be the one doing without.
I think there should be a minimum age to post here.Most insurance company executives should be wearing orange jumpsuits and picking up trash on the roadside.

Why? So you can jump them in the men's shower later?

Costs out of control?
The post office will come to my house pick up a letter and deliver it to my brothers house in California within a week for 44 cents
I would not deliver a letter to the other side of town for 44 cents
Post office is a model of efficiency
....RW you were doing ok until you got to your last sentence....i can do my route very efficiently.....but management wont let me.....because those who sit on their ass all day looking at numbers tell me their way is more efficient....and all it does is add time on to your route....the PO is no model of Efficiency....waste is rampant.....

Postal rate for one ounce 11/1981 20 cents.
If efficiency was the goal wouldn't they develop ways to electronically send it between offices? There are more efficient ways to send packages. It is illegal to compete against the post office for mail, is that the model of efficiency you recommend?
The services where they do actually compete, next day/expedited, are far inferior to UPS and FedEx.
Please.
.....sorry Rabbi but you are full of shit.....just like you were in your other post about the PO in another thread....do you realize how many times i get asked by the Fed-x and UPS drivers on my route if so and so still lives here....what apt does this person live at.....i have seen parcels left at vacant houses from UPS for weeks....Fed-x has been known to leave overnite shit at vacant business suites....we get cards from both of them asking if this address is correct,or has this person moved.....the PO delivers their overnight shit just as efficiently as they do....only cheaper.....and if things need to be forwarded...we dont charge to do it....they do....far inferior MY ASS......
I'm saying expecting private citizens who don't know or care about each other to provide for others needs because they are suppose to "care" is assuming that we are a giant family (or tribe )where each member is expected to take care of the other. This is not how normal society's operate and quite frankly you go to every single socialist from Hitler, Stalin, and Teddy Rosevelt (yes he was communist and a republican) and find similar things said about how they thought a nation's society should operate.
I'm sorry but we are not a single community. In fact, 99.9999999% of my fellow Americans I don't know from jack and while we may share a single nation in common we are not a part of a national super-family so I'm not morally obligated to help anyone outside of my own community unless I choose to. The only thing that being a part of the same nation means is that we follow the same laws and legal authority that creates them and nothing more.
Yes, it is. What you describe is an abnormal society and not one envisioned by the Constitution. What do you think the framers had in mind when they began that document with WE THE PEOPLE?
It meant that the people of the country were coming together to form a nation of laws that they want to live under. People of any nation are not obligated to care for each other because that is a choice people make. The people I choose to care about is a choice I make and there will be many I may not decide to bring into my family of caring but they are still obligated to follow the same laws that I do. This is what a nation is.

Are you saying they go into business not to provide a service for you? I'm sure they can do that but after a while people will not pay them which is why a company that has been around a while probably are not rip-off artist that you seem to think they are.

Carriers finish their routes in about 4 hours and spend the rest of the day reading books or going to VFW halls. Prices have gone up and service has gotten worse. If the USPS were a private company it would be bankrupt.
So go take your union featherbedded ass and quit telling anecdotes about your competition.
This is the main argument that I hear from so many liberals about anything that a business does or any person does and implies that anyone person must do things out of some egaltarian spirit of the community but what community are they speaking of. They can't be speaking community in the sense of private individuals interacting with each other like at a church, town meeting, dance hall, or anything like that but in a grand national scale where individuals who have never met each other must care about each other. Which is why the demand that all motives for all things be based on a genuine feeling that they are being caring for the members of the national community which happens to be all citizens within a nation instead of something that is formed by individuals interacting with each other.
This idea of building a national community was the tenant of National Socialism. Look at what Hitler wrote:
"As soon as this sense extends beyond the narrow limits of the family, the basis for the formation of a larger organisms and finally formal states is created"
What he is saying is that our sense of community extends beyond our family but through the state and the nation that it has power over. Similar things were said by Mussilini and many progressives in America so I wonder when I hear of the complaint that they are doing it for themselves or don't care do they expect our sense of familial caring extend to every citizen in the nation as many national socialist advoacated for?

Gee Harry, life is so hard for all you carriers. That's why I see you parked reading books in the afternoon or hanging at the VFW.
Spare us.
