Hi Bee Members! This month we'll be reading "Delay Deny Defend: Why insurance companies don't pay claims and what you can do about it" by Jay M. Feinman. This controversial book has made headlines due to the latest news regarding the shooting of the United HealthCare CEO. This topical book may provide some insights on how privatize health insurance companies operate and maybe the shooter's motive?
You're welcome to attend even if you haven't quite finished the book, as long as you don't mind spoilers being discussed. Attendees should generally expect to order something to eat or drink.
Here's a description of the book:
Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It. An expose of insurance injustice and a plan for consumers and lawmakers to fight back. Now a Kindle version of the hard-hitting original. The denial of valid insurance claims is not occasional or accidental or the fault of a few bad employees. It's the result of an increasing and systematic focus on maximizing profits by major companies such as Allstate and State Farm. Citing dozens of stories of victims who were unfairly denied payment, the book explains how people can be more careful when shopping for policies and what to do when pursuing a disputed claim. It also lays out a plan for the legal reforms needed to prevent future abuses.
