Interesting discussion, as always. First, $200 for a routine visit?? Maybe in Nebraska, not in the New York City area!! It's closer to $500. Anyway, since I can afford routine preventative care, I chose insurance to cover emergencies and severe illnesses only. Otherwise, my premiums would've been high each month; so you're paying for it one way or another. I'd rather just pay-as-you-go, and save the insurance for the big-ticket items. At the end of their lives, almost all of my dogs had a severe/emergency illness, and those costs ran into the thousands. Of course, I would've done anything to save them, except prolong their suffering.
@@DanTheVeterinarianI know. Those Democrat northern states are expensive! They tax the hell out of you as well. Now we’re paying for migrants coming in with no laws in place, depleting our resources while rolling the red carpet for them for political purposes.

That’s is crazy! $500! The joys of living in the Midwest. Lol.
