Australian couple has to pay off $1,000,000 for their baby
 

I'd like more details on that insurance they purchased. :seriously:

All provinces have reciprocal arrangements with each other, except Quebéc. Makes sense, I guess, since everything has to be in french or else............ I kid, I kid. hee hee......

:fulloffuck:

Kudos to them for not wanting the tax payers of BC to have to pay. Hopefully, the Aussie government steps up.

Me 2, those insurance places try to do everything humanly possible not to cover anything.

Shes lucky she didn't go to labor half way across the pacific, landing at Hawaii would be one heck of a bill.

Insurance companies are the scum of the earth.

They'll treat you like gold when purchasing it but will give you shit and do everything humanly possible to not pay for anything if you actually do need it.

It's so fucked up

They paid $12,000 for a helicopter in Nepal to get me off a mountain using a satellite phone speaking only to a Nepalese person who spoke minimal English...I can't complain.

Tripped Up - Marketplace

Marketplace looking into travel insurance and how they use lawyers to draft up contracts for the sake of fucking people in the ass.

I've never heard of anyone financing a baby. But damn that is :fulloffuck:

My question is, why were they travelling in the first place?

A typical pregnancy is 40 weeks. The article said she delivered premature at 26 weeks. At 26 weeks it's still considered safe for pregnant women to fly, as chances of miscarriage and premature labor are actually are actually slimmer.

^only 26weeks into pregnancy, so probably didn't expect the kid to pop out any time soon

Traveling in second trimester on plane? What for? Why take a chance? Preemies are not uncommon.


..............and thanks for reminding me how long a pregnancy is, LOL.

what makes me go :fulloffuck: the most is when i hear of people buying earthquake insurance for their home... i found out a couple of years ago that my parents had purchased it and i flipped out on them. lol.

Elaborate? lol I have earthquake insurance :alone:

IMHO, most insurance are scams.

I mean, they are private entities whose best interest is not to pay. How the fuck are you suppose to count on them?

The original idea of insurance was good, but due to the nature of greedy corporations, they are just trying to legally rob you in broad daylight with your own consent.

The insurance industry needs more transparency. The coverage terms should be very straight forward. And not pages after pages of terms and conditions.

:rukidding:

I think I have earthquake insurance, too.

WTF.. typical insurance companies to try and back out of paying for shit... SCAMMERs....

they should go after the insurance company, they did agree that it would be covered.... then what the insurance company saw the bill and said :rukidding: :fuckthatshit:

@Ferrari.. if you read the end part there was the fine print in the policy saying the insurance company wouldn't cover them here.

I'm happy they're not giving the bill to BC taxpayers because that would be ridiculous.. give us another bill to pay.. :rukidding:

thats a million dollar baby right there, he better turn out to be a good person

damn, that's pretty nuts!

+1
unless absolutely necessary i can't wrap my head around why...
