Blue Shield of California gets tough over late payments (Miss A Payment-Imediately Lose Coverage)
OPS_admin | Dec 16, 2009 | Comments 0
The health insurer will end an additional 15-day grace period but keep its 28-day reprieve. Those who miss a payment risk an immediate loss of coverage.
Amid a national debate on how to make the healthcare system friendlier and more accessible, and as millions of people grapple with the loss of jobs and homes, what does insurance heavyweight Blue Shield of California do?
It decides to take a key benefit away.
The company has notified individual policyholders that their coverage could be immediately dropped if they miss a single payment — or so it seems.
Blue Shield says in a letter to customers that they can reapply for insurance, but with potentially higher premiums and stricter conditions.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
