This is a good point. Perhaps the direction should be more about subsiding pet care cost and moving towards fonancial support as part of the humans' medical insurance ?
Basically pet ownership would require either 10k on the side or registration and justification to get proper insurance.
- tpmoney 3y agoPersonally, like it has in the human medical world, I think pet insurance is increasing vet costs too. Used one clinic for years and they had reasonable (if slightly high due to being a 24 hour facility) costs. On year they suddenly start advertising pet insurance, and "for some reason" every service "covered" by the insurance went up in price. Medical insurance distorts the market by disconnecting the payer from the costs. It will do the same in veterinary medicine if it hasn't already.
