Whether it costs a dollar or a billion dollars, who do you think is going to pay for it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If they could squeeze out an extra dollar then they would already do so. They don't need to justify it as "increased security costs".

When have they ever rased rates without giving a justification? Please show me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

please show me.

Nah, I'm good. Clearly our opinions differ. It's of no interest to me to collate a bunch of sources just for you to dismiss in bad faith.

Feel free to find sources to support your own argument though if you like.

In other words, you can't show me because you can't back up your claim. Got it.

Dude, you're the one asserting that healthcare costs will rise due to increased security requirements.

I don't quite follow why the onus is on me to backup my retort.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because you said they don't need to justify raising rates. Do I really need to show you that insurance companies give reasons for raising rates?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, neither of us need to do anything.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But only one of us has said that they won't back up their claim. I just said I would if you needed me to. Maybe because you can't.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're a very strange person.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I'm sure you find it strange that people dare to suggest you back up your claims in case you might be wrong, but I'm sorry to be the one to tell you that you're not always right.
