The fact that private equity firms aren't being bombed for the shit they're pulling now--i.e., the way they're moving into the housing market--is an embarrassment to us as a people.

When they were playing abstract numbers games, it was easy and well enough to ignore them; now that they're getting involved in things that affect human life, it's time to take action.

That said, I don't think pet insurance itself is a bad thing... no one should have to give up on their pet because of bullshit money concerns... but I think insurance should be universal... and we should solve human health insurance first.

As much as I love my pets and am willing to spend beaucoup bucks on their health care, I'm not sure I ever see free universal veterinary care being a thing. Too many people human problems will always be there for people to be comfortable using taxes to fund Fido's chemo.
