NycEve Why Democrats Must Investigate the Insurance Industry

Did you know that in America it’s legal to sell crap insurance to unsuspecting consumers? Let’s begin by calling these policies what they are, fraudulent.

This is exactly what’s happening to some Americans. It’s but one more reason, as if we needed any others, that the new Democratic Congress must immediately convene an investigation of this predatory and out-of-control industry.

Meet Mega Life and Health . It sells insurance via commission salesmen to beleaguered and desperate Americans. Americans who work hard and play by the rules and are frantic for any affordable insurance coverage.

Then when the enrollee becomes ill, he discovers that the policy is worthless.

A Nevada County Superior Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Penn Valley husband and wife who claimed they were duped when they bought health insurance from a Texas firm and were plunged into a financial crisis after falling ill.

Dover suggested consumers must read the fine print before they buy any insurance policies, adding he saw no evidence that the insurer or its sales agents engaged in any fraud or made misrepresentations.
