Quote from trendlover:
Refusing to pay for treatment by a private insurance is the same as viaticals? Only difference is the insurance company is asking 100% payment all the healthy life, THEN refuse payment. Not .80 cent or .70 on the USD like viatical.
I guess I'm not being clear on my point.
Life and Health Ins. are separate issues.
If you can buy a $100,000 life Ins. policy on a dying man for, oh, say, $10,000, you've made a good investment.
You become the beneficiary, and upon the guys death, you get $100K
Now, say you represent a Co. that does this all the time.
1. If you can partner with Health Ins. Co.'s to tighten up their standards on treatment refusals, you make more money, and faster too.
2. If you can lobby the Goverment to take over "health insurance", and the new "laws" in the Government's Health Care Plan MANDATE refusal of treatment/food to the old and infirm, you're well on your way to making billions.
Now, the only question the politicians will ask is "Where's my cut?"
