You are sooooo true. All their skills are intentionally crafted to get the person committed to pay monthly fees that they call premiums for life and when you have to make a claim, they have all sorts of ridiculous procedures to follow and calculations to ensure that what you get is next to nothing.
Should this read that he was a practitioner for forty years?
Let it go Franco, this is life insurance. caraifa dot com.
To me the word practitioner, imply’s one who practices a profession; such as in the field of medicine, law, or some other significant profession.
I do not regard an insurance salesman, or one who advised people how to invest in insurance a practitioner of anything!
I have never heard of any such place as a Hall Fame for insurance executives any place on earth; Dominica and the rest of the Caribbean seems to be the first place on earth where such nonsense is entertained, and revered!
Insurances companies are thieves anyway, they take your money for months, and years, and the day something happens, and you make a claim, they find some way to deny the claim, if they pay they increase the premium immediately, thus the insure commenced paying back to the insurance company what paid out to the insured.
For more than twenty years I paid insurance to 20st Century Insurance Company, never had an accident, never made a claim, all of my cars are comprehensively insured, I also ensured I have uninsured driver insurance, for incase somebody damage my car, last April, it happened someone driving with no coverage ran into the rear of one of my cars, I made a claim, my medical bill exceeds seven ($7,000.00) thousand dollars and counting, my passenger bills right now is more than seven thousand, and counting,
The cost to repair the car is more than five thousand dollars. Yet Twenty-first Century has offered seven thousand to me to for a complete settlement!
So, the battle now is in an institution of litigation.
That is how I know they are thieves, Allstate Insurance played a similar game with me, I had five different buildings insured with them something a tenant sued, All State paid a meager amount to the tenant, and immediately raised my premium, so the kid dropped Allstate
