Comment on Why is it apparently cool and fine for insurance companies to spend countless billions, trillions of our money constantly buying ad time?

I’m nowhere close to the insurance industry but I had sort of noticed from various stories.

The idea I had of what insurance is supposed to do seems to be based on how it works in Canada. If you want to take a big risk on losing your car, home, license or whatever then paying insurance even a high amount make sense.

Comparitively in the US, particularly in healthcare you seem screwed whether you get insurance or not. Americans get the freedom to pay hundreds of dollars a month, just to have to pay a minimum of more thousands if something does happen. In Canada, we don’t have universal dental yet and a full checkup, xray, cleaning and fluoride without insurance is about 600 CAD or ~440USD. I don’t know how much dental costs down South…
