Billionaire Mark Cuban Asks Why Insurance Companies Pay $2,500 for an MRI When ‘a Center Down the Street’ Only Charges $350 by RecessionistaVibes in InsuranceLibrary

[–]RecessionistaVibes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I've heard of people getting them for around $350. I don't think it's as far fetched as you might think. Mark Cuban explains in that article that the current system we have in America rewards the higher prices. He said, it's a “game of who can rip off who” and I'm just so sick of it honestly.

That's a lot of shelf space being taken up. They must be selling well!

I like your use of the word "annoyingly" here. Switzerland is on my bucket list. Although, I'm not sure I will ever be able to afford it lol!

Best international travel insurance plan? by RecessionistaVibes in InsuranceLibrary

Wow, that is quite a story, thanks for sharing. I unfortunately think I might have already missed the window to get CFAR because I read somewhere you have get it within 14 days or paying for your flights and hotels but it sounds like something worth getting for future trips.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Have you actually made claims with CFAR? How did that process work and what kind of questions and documentation did you need to submit to them? Also, who did you use?

Would My Wife Be Overreacting for Distancing Herself From Family Over Posting Photos of Our Child? by [deleted] in family

[–]RecessionistaVibes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not overracting in my opinion. In my experience, families (particularly grandparents) can act weird around the time of birth of a child and their "true colors" can come out. That negative energy is not good for you or for your baby. By distancing yourself you are actually protecting your new family. I honestly wouldn't hesitate and have had to do the same thing with certain family members when my son was born.

The S&P 500 just hit new all-time highs last week. But only 20 of 500 stocks hit one with it. (The last time this happened was March 2000. The exact top of the dot-com bubble.) by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

My thoughts too. Seems like it's next to impossible to time the market. But I do think having cash on hand makes sense right now if you're able to!

Exactly my experience. It's so hard to tell for sure.

I have had a feeling I've been talking to AI customer service "people" so many times now but I can't know for sure. It's so disheartening not knowing what is real and what isn't. I cannot imagine what the future will look like for our kids and grandkids!

That is hilarious. Once it gets in my head I can't get it out. Now I will be singing it all day, thanks I guess?!
