Good riddance. Why are we keeping these dinosaurs around anyway? And worse, why are we acting like they are the only stakeholders in this debate? Why should I care about them when they never cared about me, and did everything in their power to avoid paying my bills despite that being the only “service” they ostensibly offer? They’re nothing but parasites, pure and simple. Gross, low, reprehensible parasites.

Fuck 'em. That’s what I think about the insurance industry. And I’m far from the only one.
