Nope. My health insurance is through my employer, I can't change it...
I've been considering changing my auto insurance, I'm sure I could get something cheaper. I have NO IDEA if my car insurance co is actually any good because in the last 10 years I've had them I've never filed a claim... They could be HORRIBLE but as long as I don't actually need them I'll never know. I've heard that Geico is terrible for denying claims but people go to them every day. -Curt Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:36:23 -0400 From: "LarryT" <l02tur...@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [MBZ] sing it again, Sam To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <f98d7b86567649148ffdbe43bfc6e...@toshibalaptop> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original You wrote<<first responsibility is to its bondholders, its second to its shareholders, then (a distant third) to policyholders>> Not necessarily, IMO. If the policyholders are treated poorly they will go elsewhere, if enough are treated poorly - and in your example I assume *all* would - pretty soon there wouldn't be many customers and the company would not have many (any?) investors (stockholders) leaving the bondholders holding the bag. If *any* company wants to be of value to their shareholders (who are the owners of the company) the company must be receptive to their customers. IMO , it doesn't matter if they are for profit or not. Actually the case could be made that a non-profit might treat customers worse. Capitalism *will* work, if the government do-gooders can stay out of it. The customer will drive the company toward excellence or they will go elsewhere. Same with shareholders - people w ho do their due diligence before buying stock will look at how customers are treated - because that's the only product the company can provide "service". If a company has poor rating when dealing with the customer it will perform poorly - and the stock will also. Later - LarryT OilAnalysis Time?
