So sorry about your dad

I hope he wasn't permanently disabled. 60% of your income.. the whole story stinks.
Every year my husband's insurance company raises the premium and we end up getting less and less coverage. What the BLANK is this!!!
Can you imagine your insurance premium being the same as your housepayment!! My gosh people will be going without insurance all over the place. When the hospitals have to admit all these people who's going to pay their bills?? I even might be one of these people someday.
Geez, I'm sure fighting a disability company is like taking a bone from an old dog. They just won't give it up. Even though you've fed and watered the darn dog all these years.
I live about 30 minutes from the Enron building. I have to laugh everytime I drive by. What happened to them serves em right. They deserved everything that's happened to them.
An old(meaning age wise) friend of mine contracted pneumonia. Mind you this lady is widowed, is a little over 60, has no health insurance(she can't afford it) she makes minimum wage, and the small co. she works for can't provide it. Well to make a long story short, she tried to admit herself to the hospital. The hospital told her it would be a 2 week wait, because they had no more beds for the uninsured.
She had to take care of herself at home, having no money coming in. Well, the co. she works for took up a collection to help her pay for her medicines.
So, so sad. Don't those big beaurocrats realize working, tax paying citizens need some help!!
Like you said, lawyers are afraid of them. When is this going to stop!!
Isn't there anyone around (in the big corporate world) that has any guts and can do anything to help in these type situations? Yours, your dads, my friend, and me, or anybody else that can fall through these cracks.
Not giving your dad the test strips he needed was insane! Now look what happened.
I bet the group that controls the insurance industries wouldn't let their dogs be treated like "we" the lowly working people are.
This needs to stop!!
Good luck on your quest!
