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

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months 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.

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months 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?

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, neither of us need to do anything.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months 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.

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're a very strange person.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months 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.
