Quite an interesting report. Thanks, Cort, for writing about Caroline Anderson. How lucky that she found that antivirals helped her significantly.

Some of what she says about insurance companies I also saw in Wendell Potter's Deadly Spin: An Insurance Company Insider Speaks Out on How Corporate PR Is Killing Healthcare and Deceiving Americans. Wendell Potter remarks at one point in the book that the eleven million dollar retirement home of one of his former bosses was built with money the company made denying medical claims.

 

There is such an ugly side to 'corporate medicine'. I wonder how that insurance exec sleeps at night in his beautiful 11 million dollar home. I wonder if he wakes up in the middle of the night at times in a cold sweat.

I thought this was amazing

She said 6% of UNUM's claims at one point were due to people with CFS, GWS and FM type patients and it's down to less 1%. That's the result of giving their employees interest in not accepting these claims - to find any way they can to wiggle out of them.
