| Yes, but very few groups tout themselves as virtuous and and almost above reproach as do the lawyers. |
Nearly everyone does. Just ask any liberal who posts on this board... |

Here's a special post dedicated to wannago.
Health net ordered to pay $9 million after cancelling cancer patient's policy
| Quote: |
One of California's largest for-profit insurers stopped a controversial practice of canceling sick policyholders Friday after a judge ordered Health Net Inc. to pay more than $9 million to a breast cancer patient it dropped in the middle of chemotherapy.
. . . the companies had uniformly defended cancellations, saying they were necessary to hold down costs by weeding out people who may have failed to disclose pre-existing conditions on applications for coverage . . .
The ruling by a private arbitration judge was the first of its kind and the most powerful rebuke to the state's major insurers whose cancellation practices are under fire from the courts, state regulators and elected officials. |
Take note: she won at a private arbitration court. You know, the kind of courts insurance companies select in their contracts through so-called arbitration clauses.
Damned lawyers! If only they would stop their meddling! *shakes fist like a Scooby-doo villain* |
