F...Insurance Companies

[MTK]

I used to be on the "big bad insurance company" bandwagon too. But after 4+ years of working on the other side, I've never seen any claims get denied without just reason, I've in fact paid claims that probably shouldn't have been paid in the interest of doing good business, and more times than not, any perceived wrong doings have been honest errors and/or oversights, and not due to evil insurance reps who are just out to get the customers.

The first insurance company I worked for had a big feature done on them by 60 Minutes, and they basically did a hack job on it. I lost all respect I had for 60 minutes, they did interviews with disgruntled ex-employees who of course wouldn't reveal their identity, and the claims they "exposed" were grossly overexagerated in the interest of playing into the common myths people have about insurance companies.
