Insurance company: "We don't like to have to pay anything."
Edited on Wed Aug-05-09 03:54 PM by cherish44
Seriously, that's a direct quote I heard from an insurance person today when discussing a claim. All I can say is :wtf: Seriously, why do these companies exist if they only want to TAKE your money and give nothing in return? Wonder if I can use that excuse then I get my bills next time..."I don't like to pay anything."

6. That's why so much of this healthcare system here is organized crime.
That's how I described it once to a Canadian friend of mine.

3. Which is why they must be removed completely from the health care process.
Since their basic modus operandi is to *not pay* if they at all help it, why would we trust the nation's health care to these thieves?

4. Have you never seen those commercials on TV for lawyers?
Robert Vaughn has been speaking on behalf of so many law outfits telling people to tell insurance companies that "you mean business".

Seriously, insurance companies are NOT on your side. The business model is simply this: money always in, money never out.

Mark.

5. Their profits comes from not paying claims. As a corporation
they are required by law to make every effort to maximize profit, and that includes making every effort to deny claims. :(

No, they not your friend and they are not on your side. If you think they are on your side then you are naively believing the feel-good ad campaigns.
