Cheap, Heartless And Stupid - The New Look Of Health Insurance?
Category: The Latest Baddest
I have been thinking of ways to convey to the public how cheap, heartless, and stupid insurance companies often are. Then, deposited into my computer comes this from Managed Care Matters:
Insurers' self-inflicted wounds
In yet another example of self-inflicted trauma, an insurer has been accused of illegally canceling health insurance policies for individuals with serious medical conditions.This time it is Blue Cross of California. According to the story in the LA Times, a family's coverage was canceled by Blue Cross after the insurer uncovered inconsistencies in their insurance application, inconsistencies which, according to Blue Cross, would have caused them to deny coverage for the family.
So let's say the insurer acted appropriately, which in this case appears dubious. But set that aside; health insurers, which aren't exactly beloved by the American consumer, look cheap, heartless, and stupid for this type of decision.
I'll just step out of the way so you can read the article over a few times.
