   ^Poor example. It was a glitch than was corrected as soon as it was brought to the company’s attention.

   It weakens the case to use absurd examples. Like using the person who receives the erroneous 2 million dollar light bill to go after the electric company.

   Actually, spot on. My sister-in-law was “wrongly” dropped from coverage 2 days after my brother died. They say they will “resolve it”, but I’m sure it will take a lot more effort. BTW- her prescription went from$25 to $250 instantly, like insurance and big pharma don’t have a “thing” going?

   It just amazes me how true that cartoon is. Is truly ridiculous that insurance companies are doing … even to little kids …
   Too fat, too skinny … geeze………………….

   And after much public outcry, they took back that guy with MS. Didn’t hear about all the others with the same condition that they dropped, assumedly they took them back, too. Money grubbing creeps.

    charlie, there’s also the example of the four-month old who was denied coverage under his parent’s policy for being “obese.” The infant was still nursing, for goodness sake! This was not an error, this was the insurer’s decision. But the father is a newscaster, so the story got attention, and the insurer backtracked and agreed to cover the child.

    So what we need is a 24 hour news channel devoted to bring insurance practices to public attention.

    What we need is a public option and stricter control over the insurance industry to prevent policies being canceled because of being too expensive or pre-existing conditions.

    Why do you keep paying insurance companies anyway?
