I hope you post this every day (with any applicable updates) and people cut and paste to emails to circulate to friends, family and their public representatives.

Thank you! Rec'd.

Just linked you up with my blog here:

People can just go from blog to blog, proving to themselves how foolish it is to want private health care insurance!

I have no problems with CEOs making a decent paycheck but this is obscene considering people are dying because of their flawed product.

If any product ever needed to be subjected to a government recall...

I would go a step further and say all insurance companies are the problem. They are frauds: all sunshine and promises to care for you when you need them most, until you actually do.

After her accident, my wife's car languished for 2 weeks in the impound lot before the American Family adjuster even looked at it.

Finally, they told us we had to bring her Honda to the company-approved Chevrolet dealer for an interesting twist on step therapy. OEM Honda parts were not covered, unless the Chevy dealer tried using aftermarket, generic parts first.

Needless to say, the generics sucked. Instead of its formerly smooth, parallel groove, the hood-fender seam was "V" shaped: nearly touching at the front bumper and gaping near the windshield. The bumper/fender and the bumper/hood seams were no better and the left headlight no longer fit entirely inside the nose assembly.

So then it was another week for them to take everything apart, order the correct Honda parts and fix everything right. Meanwhile, I started getting a bill for the rental car because American Family only covered 30 days worth of car rental. After 3 rounds of "let me speak with your supervisor," I managed to get that charge overturned, on the grounds that American Family caused the delay itself, with its own annoying policies.

So after a month, we finally got our Accord back. Only it never drove straight again and it wouldn't retain an alignment. Thank God my wife wasn't injured, or she would've had to deal with the health insurance too.
