    In the USA the organisation for drug free america (which targets marijuana primarily) receives massive donations from alcohol and tobacco firm.

    You will also note that the Police are funded by tax payers and yet if you're caught drink driving you cannot tell them to go away just because you pay their salaries.

    evidence = human logic.

    You will always be loyal to people who are paying your paycheque.

    Read how to win friends and influence people, there is a chapter on recripocation. If you don anyone a favour they will always return a favour.

    On another marketing book I read about how charities would enclose a pen in the mail and gift of a pen would increase donations because the recipient felt compelled to return the favour. Also the mail where they were sending small packets of rice in their mail in order to get donations to pay for mail packets. It too increased donations massively but there was a verbal backlash from donars about the logic of sending small packets of rice to donars when they were claiming people were starving in africa.

    When humans are easily influenced with such a small minute level, I think it's extremely unlikely that a claims handler is going to process the claim in the same manner as if they were claiming from a 3rd party insurer.

    What has marketing got to do with two employees of the same Insurance company dealing with a claim that involves two of their customers.

    InsideInsurance has explained how it works, do you think the regulatory authority would accept a consumer or both consumers being left out of pocket to the benefit of the Insurer?
