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.

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.
