I was just last week telling my wife, that I have to be very careful of what I say, especially in email or forum from. So I am listening. I so much want to tell a few people what I really think of big insurance and what really goes on behind closed doors. At this point all my efforts are speculative as far as any action through the courts, I am gathering infomation and will be deciding on the best course of action. Have a great day. I need to list more detail about myself and will get back to that asap.
    Good luck though in this fight of yours Larry. (and all of ours, of course) I like your piss and vinegar, go get 'em attitude, too!!! Keep it up!! Cindylou

    As i have gotten older and have more knowledge about the pathetic state of our health care and even worse, what we as the public have allowed ourselves to tolerate when it comes to insurance and managed care. I have been watching this for over 30 years at least. I have no fear of these people at this point. Before it is over, they may have me assasinated and I am not kidding. Start interfering with a mans money and he will do anything. I am from an area where people who oppose even local government, often end up dead. Is it a war.??? maybe not yet, but the people should have the say , not the people cashing in on our and many others misfortune. It is now my goal to spend as much time as i can to undercover the truth and thank the internet for allowing us to search and discover the hidden information that the government and insurance companies never wanted us to see.
