When a natural disaster happens everyone files for a loss all at once. This is murder on a business that makes money reinvesting the dues they get into the stock market or other ventures the more money they pay out the less they can invest and the less covered they are if their investments are a loss. To an insurer, policy holders represent a a stable revenue stream, with calculable odds that keeps them in the black. Covering a natural disaster is the opposite of that and would be a poor business move from a profit and loss stand point.

Said another way, insurance companies are financial institutions. All they care about is making as much money as possible.

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
