Interesting, well-written, and a call to action.

Any other stories like this out there?

Unfortunately there are lots of stories out there like this one. I'm sure most of us have seen those tin cans with a kid's photo on them.

Bill Moyers recently had an interview with Wendell Potter, a former insurance exec, on this subject. The things he says about claim denials and rescission are basically the same as in the Daily Kos story, but from an industry insider's perspective. It's definitely worth a look: www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/07102009/profile.html
