Robin Beaton, although she may die of the breast cancer that ravages her body, says that she finds solace in inspiring legislation that may prevent it from happening to others. Although the cancer was discovered months ago, Beaton will only now undergo the surgery she needs to possibly save her life, due to her insurance being wrongfully canceled after her diagnosis was made. Beaton explains that a loophole, the fact that she did not disclose a prior medical condition, however minor, led to the cancellation of her policy. While she was able to appeal and have her insurance reinstated, the time it took to do so may cost her her life. Was this an unethical act made by a large insurance company, or was it justified according to the rules? What can be done to prevent another tragedy such as this from occuring?
Answer health applications compleatly and honestly. Teach this stuff in high school
Yes, be honest. I agree with Bud L. How else can a company assess risk. Bad Karma is all I can see.
I think it would be interesting to know exactly what question it was that she failed to answer. Was it a question regarding past history of Cancer or was it a question about a sore throat she had last year. If it were the latter then I would say the insurance company is doing illegal activities.
