Do they really do that? And here I am thinking that they might be one
of the good guys. :-P
When insurance companies do stuff like that, it makes me 10 times as
angry as their exhorbitant rates do. They're always pulling stuff like
this; and they've always got a bunch of puppets lobbying in Washington
and in the state capitols. It seems like they're always trying to pull
a fast one or pass some legislation that'll allow them to defraud or
limit the rights of the American public even further. :-(
The really depressing part is that they ALL do it, so its not like
you can take your business elsewhere. Wherever you go, they're doing the
same thing.
