    Seriously, what is the point of pet insurance, when no vet accepts it?

    I am of the opinion that Medicare for All should include pets. No living creature should have to pay for healthcare.

      It’s the same basic principle by which human health insurance companies operate. Make maximum profit by taking in premiums and denying as many claims as possible. Our whole system is fucked. In 2025 United Healthcare made $9.425 billion in profit. How many people had to die or live in abject misery to enable that?

      It’s hard enough to convince some people that every citizen should get healthcare. Now try to convince them to give healthcare to every living creature.

      All voters require healthcare for themselves. Not all voters have pets though.

      The vet doesn’t have to take it, you pay for what ever and they reimburse you. Worked great for my two dogs until a certain age then it’s not worth it anymore
