Insurance Company Abuses Discussed at Hearing
Posted on Sep 20, 2009
Abusive claims denial practices were the focus of a House hearing last week before its subcommittee on domestic policy. One case discussed was that of Esther Dardinger, who was receiving successful chemotherapy treatment for cancer when her insurance company, Anthem, decided to deny further coverage.
