This insurance compay deserves this judgement and it should be a warning to all other insurance companies. Hopefully the moderate democrat lawmakers will get on with reform right f'ng now.
Ya just gotta love witnesssing JUSTICE!
Geez...Assurant huh? Does anyone else remember them getting into trouble last year for denying a wheelchair for a young child that had their 'coverage'? It made national news also. It's all about the dollars. I started working for a (insurance brokerage) company and they have a whole list of disqualifiers for people with pre-existing and newlydiagnosed etc.. Unfortunately, I don't have any of that information anymore but it would be worth checking into before taking any policy with them.
I hope the guy takes the insurance company to the bank. The insurance companies behavior is horrible. Sadly, it may be cheaper for them to keep it tied up in court for years rather than pay.
Oh big surprise. Anyone with brains knows HIV poz patients get discriminated against all the time.
Great verdict!!!!I had the same experience when I converted to Positive status.My insurance company tried to claim I had a preeexisting condition though I had 2 negative tests after the policy was issued .Luckily the insurer backed down .My 2 treating doctors stated "insurers do that all the time". Maybe some of these damn Republican lawmakers will be so fortunate when they or their family members get sick!!!!Right on to the plantiff in this case!!!!!Let's the case gets lots of media attention!

When my insurance picked up several years ago, they had a 2 year prexisting condition time period in place. I didn't report my anonymous, positive test until the 2 year limit was up. I hope this judgement holds up and bankrupts the company.
