Sounds to me like he has NEVER paid.

That's what I'm saying. He gambled (in a big way) to save $75 per year, for what I'm thinking is a very long time. He eventually lost. That sucks, but it's a choice he made.

On a long enough timeline, everyone's odds of survival drop to zero.

They were already there, though.

Yup, and that's why they let the whole family burn to death.

Oh, wait....

If you think an insurance company is going to pay your claim when you've not paid your premium just because you tell them you will pay it all back, I want whatever company you're using.

Thats really a crazy statement to make man. I'm wondering if you meant to say something else...

Wait, I thought this thread was about Firefighters watching a home burn down, not about insurance companies paying for something after the fact? Now you guys are just confusing me.

It is poorly worded but I believe 101 is saying insurance may reimburse the homeowner for costs if he had offered, and the fire department had accepted his offer, to pay the actual cost to fight the fire. The "entire paid claim" refers to the cost to fight the fire, not past due insurance premiums. His post assumes homeowners insurance is paid in full and in effect at the time.

Thats odd, I thought it was about rape...then insurance companies...then a video of some dude...

Says who? That silly 2k year old book that people are still hanging onto in a fit of crazyness? Quite frankly, I dont believe either have souls. Its just something we tell people to make them feel better about death. Life is not precious.

Analogy.

Sure, to help those who paid the fee.

Now, like i said earlier, I don't blame the son for being pissed on the spot because he probably didn't know what was going on. Either way, the dude didn't pay for the services. He should just get it for free? Is that what you're saying?

Because again, what is to prevent others from not paying the fee and then only offering to do so when their house is on fire?
