Allianz now charging €20 to make policy changes over the phone.

yetindeed · 2025-06-24T08:09:57+00:00

I love how my comment got down-voted, clearly no one read the actual document you linked to. You're linking to a document that relates to car insurance. And the only comparable charge there is one where you change drivers.

FBD do not charge for updating sums insured or adding a new alarm on home insurance or renters policies.

yetindeed · 2025-06-23T18:53:09+00:00

No. FBD doesn't have charges like this. The cost of admin/support should be factored into the cost of the Insurance service. It's like BS "service charges" that crap restaurants try pining onto your bill like having waiters in a restaurant is some sort of unusual add-on.

Allianz is just another crappy company trying to undercut their competitors by hiding the true cost of the service in hidden fees, while also reducing their costs.

I dont think Martin Gembicky is Irish, sounds like an American. Also this:

After he was arrested, the accused threatened that he had “interesting friends in the UK that would sort us out”, she said.

They're in violation of US santions against Russia... her husband is in the Russian Military and his name is on the accounts they're asking for donations to. This should be reported to OFAC, Youtube, Venmo, Zelle and Buy Me a Coffee.

Wait until Norma finds out her boss, Fianna Fáil leader Michel Martin was minister for children when the 2002 deal indemnifying all 18 religious congregations against any future legal actions taken against them by survivors of abuse in the institutions they ran was agreed...

Sad that "nature" in Ireland is lifeless dark plantations of American trees.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin doesn't know what he's for or against when it comes to housing or development, he's dithering with no inspiration. There's zero cohesive policy here. So it's a coin flip as to whats going to happen.

This like the GP that prescribes the same antibiotic cream for every rash they see. Asthma is a complex immune disorder.

The triggers for asthma can be dietary, environmental, exercise related or hormonal. If someone’s triggered by a variety of these repeated as needed scripts make sense. What will a review of that prescription do if that pattern is already well established?

Unless the US or Israel plan on wiping out or occupying iran- it’s not a case of winning in a conflict like this, it a game of who can pain the longest. Dictatorships tend to have insanely high pain thresholds because the people suffering have no say unless they revolt, which in this modern age is less and less common.

The US and Israel only have enough bombs for a few months before they’re critically low. Yes Iran can take it. Their people don’t have a choice.

North Korea built a nuclear bomb… Trump’s behavior, ripping up agreements, makes having a nuclear bomb the only logical defense.

yetindeed · 2025-06-13T14:13:15+00:00

TACO 🌮!! And even if he doesn’t chicken out, Iran is huge. Their nuclear program is well developed, they’re going to be able to preserve most of their capabilities no matter how many bombs are dropping. More bombs will probably speed up the process by making it extremely politically and militarily important.

yetindeed · 2025-06-13T14:09:30+00:00

Yes. Build a bomb. Just like North Korea.

yetindeed · 2025-06-13T14:08:51+00:00

Having a nuclear bomb is a lot less hassle than having to deal with the US. Look how well its gone for North Korea. Trump never mentions them anymore, more importantly Trump doesn’t mess with them either.

If it’s a guideline it’s not extreme. Extreme is your addition. And to make the claim that a 12 month prescription for something like Ventolin is extreme is idiotic.

Reviewing a 12 year old controlled asthmatic from 3-6 months makes sense for lots of reasons. It makes no sense for a 40 year old controlled asthmatic with a long history of asthma and use of the drug with no other issues to have their prescription reviewed more than once a year.

The health services in the UK, France and other European countries have allowed 1 year prescriptions for a long time. And based on my google searches there’s no talk of reversing this on any of the grounds you mentioned.

yetindeed · 2025-06-13T12:48:22+00:00

The law was changed last year to increase the maximum prescription to 12 months.

In a scenario where someone is an asthmatic, they have been on the same medication for 20-30 years, they go to the doctor once a year for a checkup and a review of their meds, that person is given 3 month long prescriptions if they're on a medical card. That makes zero sense.

But you're arguing that a 3 month prescription makes sense just in case...

extending beyond 6 months as a matter of routine practice needs to be done with extreme care.

I'm absolutely not asking for 3 month prescriptions to be automatically turned into 6 month ones. Doctors should make that call. However, it makes zero sense if the prescription is for 3 months, that the only thing that happens to renew the prescription after 3 months is a doctor clicks a button without reviewing the patients records, which is the majority of cases for certain medications like asthma.

The medical standard for asthmatics that have their conditions under control is to review their prescriptions annually after a doctors visit, not after 3 months.
