My Dad lived abroad and he bought insurance that would have international coverage. When he was in the hospital the bills racked up well past the deductible. After he died the insurance wouldn't pay us anything. We were left with $40,000 that we had to pay out of pocket. We had to pay because they wouldn't release his body till we paid. So we paid the hospital and then assumed the insurance would reimburse us which they didn't. So my dad basically paid them for years and never got a cent of coverage.
I don't remember the name of the company (it wasn't United Health Care) but I can't stop thinking about this whenever people discuss health insurance. Yes murder is bad, yada yada, but I'm too bitter and I am enjoying the gloating from this. I'm sure a lot of people who have similar stories feel the same way. It's not just the "eat the rich" commies who are celebrating.

Yep, my comment is similarly bitter. I don’t think he should have died, but the system is messed up they KNOW this happens. *shakes fist*
It's personal, not political.
