    That seems sort of cruel when some people can’t afford health insurance for their people.

      I think it’s more cruel to get a pet and then let it die after eating your anal beads because you can’t afford a $5k surgery and didn’t want to pay $50 a month for pet health insurance, that largely pays for itself if you are getting the regular check ups and vaccines that pets need.

        People dont have $50 a month. What ever what ever, no one should have a pet unless they can afford it and all the animals that can’t find homes should be put down.

          You can get it as cheaply as $17 a month. And the person I was replying to said your pet would “hurt your pocket” when they eat something they’re not supposed to, implying that they would be paying for the expensive surgery. Most veterinary surgeries are $2K-$5k. Mid range health insurance is $50 per month or $600 per year, saving $1400- $4400 for a person who would be paying out of pocket otherwise.
