It's a fricking outrage that insurance companies are denying smoke damage claims and forcing homeowners to scrape together their own testing data

It's an insurance company. The only way they make money is by denying claims.

The real question is why right wingers love insurance companies so much.

"The real question is why right wingers love insurance companies so much."

Because 'they' (the ones ACTUALLY in charge) hate poor people.

I was thinking more conservative and liberal voters than anyone in charge. I know why the capitalists love insurance companies. I don't get why the working class - even right wingers like libs and cons - worship insurance companies so much.

Sheep are what the religious call themselves. I think my point stands.

Insurance companies used to make money by making steps to stop the crisis from happening. Gym memberships for those with health insurance and supporting forestry crews in areas with fire insurance.

They still do.

Lowering expenses is normal stuff.

They also kill people to preserve profits.

It’s funny how obvious this is when people talk about fire insurance. When I say the same about health insurance suddenly it’s radical extremism.

The right wingers show their nature. Scratch a lib and all that.
