Reply #14: Sorry you lost a friend. I hope that this was not a close friend [View All]

(it sounds like you had been close years ago but were not close now, and I hope that is the case). I piss off friends and family all the time, but I usually just do not respond to hateful things that they say in response to something like you quoted. This person is an ass. And in answer to his "Do you think it's ok to force businesses to accept clients that are almost certain to cost them money?" I would have mentioned that I personally did not want to force any businesses to offer insurance to anyone, I wanted Medicare For All. The businesses could start selling auto or life insurance, or close their doors. Their choice. They would not get any tears from me.
