Your last sentence is talking to then majority (tens of millions) of pet owners. YOU have idea what YOU are talking about.
Having a pet is not a right now is it?
Tell you what when you get a new pet open up a savings account and put money away every week for vet bills.
If you're not willing to act responsibly then you shouldn't have a pet. Period.
We should pass a law to do something about irresponsible people not veterinarians.
If you had an ounce of decency (or responsibility), you wouldn't dream of accepting anything other than having pet insurance work same as human insurance > ie. vets are reimbursed after pets are cared for. How much money pet owners have on hand is irrelevant, (as long as they pay their monthly insurance bills).
Weird how you can even begin to accept the pet owner pay up front lunacy. You aren't connected to the veterinarian industry by any chance are you ? If not, no excuse for taking such a ridiculous position.
As for whether having a pet is a right or not, I can't see any connection between that and what this discussion is.
So you want pet insurance to be run like human insurance.
Therefore you want veterinary prices to skyrocket and you would force small veterinary hospitals to hire additional staff to handle claims and billing insurance companies right?
Then you would piss and moan about the vet raising his fees to cover the extra costs you would force on him because you don't know how to handle your money.
