Personally, I am with Nemski on this one. Insurance companies get a raw deal.
Take this interesting case for example.
See Jason! These guy’s aren’t in it for the money.

Great American Insurance Company
Now that’s funny.
Cripe. I don’t have enough snark in my soul to even try to be funny on this one.
Dude, you’re a Republican . . . . you don’t have a soul. 😉
Ah, but not “that kind” of Republican, remember? Consult the beard crumbs, they will tell you.
Whenever you put a monetary value on human health and life you’ll run into this kind of inanity.
It reminds me of the movie Fight Club when the Edward Norton character explains the work he does.
He investigates fatal automobile accidents for an insurance company and applies “the formula”. If the potential legal costs and/or wrongful death damages are less than the cost of a recall they don’t do one.
The guy on the plane asked Norton, “what comapny do you work for”. He’s reply:
“A big one.”
That’s like claiming a guy who dies from getting thrown from a vehicle in a car accident died because he fell, not necessarily from the impact of the crash.
Or a shooting victim died of lead poisoning.
Or an otherwise healthy person in police custody dies of “excited delirium.”
How are they supposed to make any money if they go around paying claims?
