| In co-dependence denial the greatest ignorance is to reject substantive matter out of hand, yet insurance policyholders do it as preset course, unaware of their vulnerability till often too late.
The question is when will the 99% change course? The answer is when they are good and ready. |
Imagine for a moment, the government didn't provide you your rights and tax forms but rather, came to your home, inspected your records, calculated and prepared your tax forms for you. Then they told you not to worry because they had your best interest at heart, and the cost of the "extra service" along with the cost of advertising, would be paid from higher taxes. Peace of mind?... not hardly. Well, get ready for reality. This is a very real scenario in the world of insurance and it could happen to any one of us. Most people believe insurance claims only happen to someone else. However, in one year in the United States, millions of policyholders pay more than seventy-nine billion dollars for property insurance, and insurance pays out more than forty-seven billion dollars in property claims.
No matter how fair insurance companies imagine themselves to be, they have a separate interest, self-interest. The more they pay, the less they keep. This can be even more evident and compounded when large sums of money are at stake and policyholders have surrendered their authority, looking to the insurance company for instruction and direction.
In simple terms, it is much the same as putting your property up for sale without finding out how much it is worth, then trusting the buyer with setting the price and explaining the deal. Probably this is not something you normally allow.
