Comment on When is pet insurance worth it? in ~life.pets
jredd23 LinkReading the fine print is important, know what you are paying for and what is not covered.

Overall, I think it's worth it, though an argument can be that pet insurance leads to higher cost. I read an item some weeks ago where a hedge fund is buying small Vet clinics to take advantage of the upside of all the care that people have on pets. Just my 2 cents.

I for one can't understand how in the hell can this Senator or any Democratic Senator/House Representative can be so out of touch with the base and be completely surprised by this CR. Democrats should have had an alternative ready to go the minute the thing hit the floor, instead of this foolishness. I don't know if 2026 will be what it will be for Democrats but a reckoning needs to happen at the top of the Democratic party and leadership. Incompetence can't be rewarded, the Democrats got rid of a Senator because of allegations. They should add another reason, incompetence.
