I wish i could work. what do you do to fight these huge companies when you have ongoing documented injuries from your own doctor? How will i pay my bills? They are awful

This story disgusts …
This story disgusts me. It’s so slanted. Do we really want people to just be able to run off to the chiropractor and get paid for it without justifiying their injuires. Anderson cooper is JOKE. Trust me, when people get hurt for real, insurance companies pay.

I hate big …
I hate big companies in general. It’s not just insurance companies, ladies and gentlemen. It’s our entire capitalistic society. Don’t you realise— it’s these people who get the laws passed around here. They make me so sick with anger. Why can’t they just play fair? It seems like gluttunous s make the decisions. They’re all too greedy for money. They never care how they get it.

John Stossel said that every time the government gets involved in an issue by some politicians passing laws, it just backfires and winds up doing more harm than good. The government saying everyone must have insurance is just further testament to this. I hate the ing insurance companies now. If I saw one of those ing holes in a burning building I’d be laughing.

Consolidated …
Consolidated Freightways Corporation of Delaware is NOT self-insured because their Surety bond was revoked in 1996 and never reinstated.
August 9th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
I have a letter …
I have a letter from the Dept. Industrial Relations/Self-insurance plans that indicates they revoked Consolidated Freightways Corporation of Delaware certificate in 1996 and never reinstated it. Sedgwick CMS, thought they were self-insured and therefore play the role as adjustor, now saying they are not liable for not properly checking to see if C.F. was self-insured. Caselaw suggest otherwise!

Under the law, …
Under the law, policyholders who wish to sue their insurance company must mail written notice of the potential lawsuit to the insurance company and to the Office of the Insurance Commissioner at least 20 days before the lawsuit is to be filed.

MSI, Medical …
MSI, Medical services for indigents are suppose to have have doctors who are willing to help those without any money, however doctors are charging $70 for office visits, and denying care because they don’t get any money from the fund until 6 months down, too many greedy doctors!

Consolidated …
Consolidated Freightways Corporation of Delaware is NOT self-insured because their Surety bond was revoked in 1996 and never reinstated. The defense is indicating that United States Fidelity & Guaranty, USF & G is Consolidated Freightways insurer at the time of my accident, this is false. The defense is offering an invalid insurance policy the indicates they have an Endorsement, that is the key work endorsement, you can not get an insurance policy with endorsement if you are not self-insured.

If they cannot …
If they cannot afford one, should one be provided for them by the government? Where does it end? Flat screen TV’s? The right to keep and bear a washer/dryer set? If you do not have a lawnmower, one will be provided for you by an illegal alien? How much can or SHOULD the government do?
4. Is that why when Cuba’s leader Fidel Castro, was on his death bed he was flown halfway around the world to get medical care? I’m just sayin.
All OF YOUR DEMOCRATS ARE BLIND.

n fact, it is …
n fact, it is against FEDERAL LAW to deny health care to someone who needs it. It is illegal in this country. In addition, there are in nearly every city in America, hospitals who treat patients every day who have no way of paying. There are also thousands of clinics and programs to help those who can’t pay catastrophic medical bills.
3. It’s inexcusable that some people don’t own their own homes. Is a permanent place to live ALSO a fundamental right? Some people don’t own a car.

In many cases, it …
In many cases, it may be expensive, but so are a LOT of things in this country that aren’t “rights”…like auto insurance or homeowners insurance…which are things we are forced by law to have, but the government doesn’t provide.
2. Well unfortunately, that woman and her baby did die, that’s true. However, she was NEVER turned away, she did receive treatment (she just couldn’t be saved), and she DID have health care insurance.

The Argument …
The Argument Against Idiots: Health Care
1. First of all, I’d like you to point out where that “right” is spelled out in the Constitution? But while you’re looking that up, lets just address your “expensive privilege for the few”, statement. The fact is, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 84% of Americans HAVE health insurance. Now my math may be fuzzy, but that seems like-not “the few”, but “the many”. In fact, the OVERWHELMING majority.

There was little damage my car. I was treated for whip lash finally found out I had three bulging disc in my cervical they paid for. I have a $50,000 uninsured motorist rider on my policy. I at this point was offered $1000 for three discs snapped. Now Travelers are saying they are not paying for degenerative disease. I was never treated for this disease nor knew I had it till this auto whiplash happened. Attorneys will not help not enough money and they dont want to be tied up for yrs TRAVELERs

So, what insurance company do you work for?

No wonder Insurance premiums in Washington has skyrocketed. Tons of frivilous lawsuits, lawyers having a field day with hundres of millions of dollars in fees. R67 was the most EVIL Washington state Referendum in history and the people were stupid in passing it.

Absolutely and State Farm is the biggest offender of the Katrina victims, they’ve been victimized again by their insurance companies. I have no idea how they sleep at night, but apparently they do.

Same with me, it’s …
Same with me, it’s been 3 1/2 years and I haven’t been offered a dime. I have medical proof that I was injured (to this day I have lost feeling in 2 of my fingers and discs are now deforming my spine) and their client was under the influence hit me from behind when I was stopped, caused a significant amount of damage to both our cars and they’re fighting it. There needs to be laws, end of story.

My husband was …
My husband was injured 4 years ago, I don’t think we are any closer to a settlement now than we were when it happened. My husband is in constant pain and it seems the ins. co could care less.

Insurance is the biggest rip-off in history next taxes and they’re both perfectly legal. The government refuses to do something about these bullshit insurance companies because they have the government in their back pocket….

Now I`m finding out where are the basic elements for insurance companies picked to finnish social and private insurance system.
Here in Finland the battle with your insurance company can last from 10-15 years.
I think suffering is local, but the huge problem is global.
Perhaps CNN can make a global outlook to this grey kind of business area.
