A Health Insurance Limerick by Troy Camplin The Society May 19, 2014 Humor, Limerick, Poetry 4 Comments The cost of insurance was such Its price I could sadly not touch — So I gave all of that To a young bureaucrat And now it costs three times as much!

Reply state farm niles April 18, 2020 Hello, I’m not a fan of insurance because I prefer to put my trust in Our Creator rather than corporations who do their best to overcharge and never payout even when they should. It is a decision each person must make for themselves. Reply lisa June 15, 2021 Hello, Thank you for sharing this useful information. For me, as a business owner, it is very important and relevant because I want to keep abreast of the latest news. I believe that the insurance broker should be a trusted person and be responsible for all trusted financial manipulations. Reply lisa October 10, 2021 Hi, Where else may just anyone get that type of information in such a perfect approach of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m on the search for such info.
