Pet health insurance has ruined veterinary care
We love our pets. We’ve had many dogs and cats over the years. Typically, they’ll live from 12-18 years. But once they go into a severe health crisis and their quality of life is gone, we’ve put them down. We get them reasonable veterinary care. If they get sick or an infection, we have that treated. But if they come down with something like liver cancer, we’re not going to spend thousands and thousands of dollars to prolong their lives. And that’s what I think veterinary health care coverage has done. It’s created a cost incentive for large VCs to buy up local vets and create Big Box health care. The price of everything is gotten insane from shots to just normal exams. And they always offer up the most expensive options without ever considering less complicated procedures or palliative care. It’s gotten to the point where people who do not have pet insurance can’t afford any treatments for their pets. And that’s a crime
