&lt;br /&gt;
This poor choice of words is the deceptive tactics of the insurance industry to make their services seem more valuable than they are.&amp;nbsp; There is no real value here.&amp;nbsp; They make everyone pay and only a few lucky people when disaster happens.&amp;nbsp; And every year, the bad business decisions make less and less clients able to take advantage of years of money paid into the program.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The better word for insurance is assurance.&amp;nbsp; This is the word they use in europe.&amp;nbsp; Assurance means that if something nasty happens like you lose your arm in a thrashing machine, the the assurance company will do their best to make things better.&amp;nbsp; They can&#39;t stop you from dying, but they will do the best for your loved ones and your estate.&amp;nbsp; That is not as deceiving as the misleading insurance word.&amp;nbsp; But it is a commitment that should be more helpful. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#39;t trust any insurance companies, and now you know why.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skoganinsurance.blogspot.com/feeds/6904962387451187978/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://skoganinsurance.blogspot.com/2010/02/insurance-is-wrong-word.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6198386235579242819/posts/default/6904962387451187978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6198386235579242819/posts/default/6904962387451187978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skoganinsurance.blogspot.com/2010/02/insurance-is-wrong-word.html' title='Insurance is the wrong word'/><author><name>DaemonDave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02421275072715754108</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198386235579242819.post-8429083338150121419</id><published>2010-02-19T12:49:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-19T12:49:51.875-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="and"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="financial"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Insurance"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="planning"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="policy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="services"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="underwriting"/><title type='text'>Insurance services policy underwriting and financial plannig services</title><content type='html'>Insurance services policy underwriting and financial plannig services</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skoganinsurance.blogspot.com/feeds/8429083338150121419/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://skoganinsurance.blogspot.com/2010/02/insurance-services-policy-underwriting.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6198386235579242819/posts/default/8429083338150121419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6198386235579242819/posts/default/8429083338150121419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skoganinsurance.blogspot.com/2010/02/insurance-services-policy-underwriting.html' title='Insurance services policy underwriting and financial plannig services'/><author><name>DaemonDave</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02421275072715754108</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
