Provided what you stated was accurate, and you have **evidence** to the problem being caused by negligence on the part of the insurance company, you might have one whopping case. A potential award that might cover your future medical costs. (This is why I oppose capping awards. And it's a case where a reverse judgment, which I do advocate, seems out of the question.)

What bothers me is why you project the notion that if one insurance company messes up, it's an indictment on the entire industry.

Wise up. Look around. A handful of corporations have a strangle hold on this economy and increasingly, the Congress. Yet the Right stands in terror of those in elected govt. still struggling against the corporatocracy. Are you paying ANY attention to what's going on regarding control of the financial sector and the govt?

....The drive for profits has more of a corrosive effect than you could imagine.

Believe me, you'd never see a governmental agency behaving is such a callous, callow manner.

Let it bother you that somebody is very mad for having his child treated like she is inferior to a paper greenback. If that angers you then perhaps you should get help.

All insurance providers are operating at very high costs and it is deliberate. There is no conspiracy. The health industry now wants to get involved in Washington because they are "too big to fail"

I wish your free market rhetoric could be truthful but it is nothing but a delusion. There is no competition in health care right now. If you can't afford it you are not a member of the club.

Could health care be cheap? Yeah...How cheap...that depends on the amount of greed in Washington and Big Pharma...We all know how the healthy competition keeps everything reasonable...

Yeah...right.

    ...Wrong.
    
    Without the profit motive and with the scrutiny of the public they serve, they WILL do better.
    
    Much better.

      And costs will spiral out of control (like every other government run entitlement program) because there are no Profit/loss accountabilities. HC will worsen, premiums will go up and the defict will rise as will taxes.
      
      Name one government run entitlement program that isn't a financial disaster. No problem though, the gov can just pour unfunded funny money into it and kick the can down the road.

        ...the truth is, that in most countries where Universal Health Care has been implanted, it works, with variable success. Even in the UK, where that bitch Thatcher butchered it, it´s still better than what you have now...

  "Marty's life and family are just collateral damage. Why can't he see that?"
  
  What do you mean by collateral damage?
  
  Some guy and his family have gotten sunk by what seems to be negligence in handling of an application by an insurance company. Collateral damage implies damage where the intended action targeted a different party.
  
  We need to focus on a solution for this particular case.
