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

[–] Rogue@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days 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 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days 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 5 days ago (1 children)

No, neither of us need to do anything.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days 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 5 days ago (1 children)

You're a very strange person.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days 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.
