    You know what would be cool? If Canada had actual public healthcare so insurance companies wouldn’t be suing cancer charities (which we also wouldn’t need if we had well funded public healthcare).

        True in this case, but a part of healthcare should be making sure that a person receiving care doesn’t loose their home in the process.

          IMO, income and having a stable place to live shouldn’t be so volatile that we need such assurances from the healthcare system.

          Affordable housing, and UBI can easily make up the difference.

          IMO, affordable housing should be a given, and UBI could simplify and reduce the overhead in many of our systems, such as unemployment insurance, welfare, disability, etc. The money saved in administrating all of those systems and replacing them with UBI could go towards making our healthcare suck a lot less.

    While I think this is bonkers, the organisation and the charity should ideally both have insurance too. I’m a trustee for a charity that organises marathons for fundraising and we have insurance partly in case the worst happens.

    And here I thought the insurance company was supposed to pay you and then go after who they think is responsible on their own time…

      The courts already found the driver responsible and convicted him… why the insurance company hasn’t been forced to acknowledge this is anyone’s guess.
