Romney: “I was talking about, as you know, insurance companies. We’d all like to get rid of our insurance companies.”
According to Romney, people don’t want insurance companies. Such a statement is hypocritical coming from him as well as untrue.
If you don’t think so then cancel your fire insurance and start a campfire on your sofa.
The context in which he was saying that was a market based decision.
Example:
for years I had Farmers Insurance for my auto insurance. I thought I had to have a name brand to get excellent coverage.
Then a friend told me about Mercury Insurance. WTH? They were 2/3rds less!
I switched and have had several claims since. Guess my cars are magnets for people side swipping me, rear ending and a head on collision with some dork who crossed over into my lane.
Each time, Mercury had a car for me that day and a place to have my cars towed. Two of which were totaled and one I actually received a check for more than I paid for the car a year earlier.(I knew I had got a good deal on that car but didn’t know it was that good).
So Farmers got fired, I reduced my costs and received just terrific service.
Same with our telephone and Internet services. Hated them and their quality of service. Fired.
Same with employees who just can’t, for whatever reason, meet expectations. Fired(hate doing it but ultimately it becomes about everyone else still employed)
Investors who can’t seem to get the business or understand their responsibility. Later.
That is what MuttHole was talking about. Choices.
Wrong, I had nationwide insurance for years, then I discovered I could save a ton and get a better deal and other benefits from the farm bureau, so I fired nationwide.
