[BIG SIGH} The only thing getting big around here are my thighs!!! LOL!
LOL the only problem is the only thing that will get resolved from hiring a lawyer is the money in YOUR bank account.
You are right! Until laws are changed...this is how it's gonna be.
You know I forgot to mention that my insurance company already upped my monthly premium by $50.00 not even three months prior...that time I received a warning the month prior. They raised the premium on everyone at the beginning of the year. So why in April did they raise mine another $100.00?
If I had the energy...I'd probably spend my days trying to find a hungry lawyer that wanted to touch this...YEAH RIGHT! lol
Coincidence, increasing your premiums following a procedure, I Think Not. Unfortunately, this is so often the case with Insurance Companies. They never complain one little bit when they are receiving your premiums, that are high enough to prevent you from making that month's house payment, just as long as you don't use it.
It's so sad, and there are probably laws against it, I don't know for sure. I am fairly certain of one thing, the companies will never admit the truth as to WHY they raised them anyway. I personally believe Insurance Companies' premiums should have some type of limits set on them. There should be a maximum monthly amount they are allowed to charge a person for the entire year, regardless of how bad the person's condition becomes in that year. Then reevaluate the following year on each individual basis, with some amount limits still in place, and so on.
I'm aware when a person is sick they cost the insurance more money for their treatments, and increasing medical rates cost them more, as well. I understand a reasonable yearly premium increase might be necessary to help compensate the companies for this, but the several times a year, or after use increases really need to be stopped some how. Also, there are many people who pay their premiums for years, and never have to use the insurance. They have probably paid in enough in premiums alone, to have actually purchased the company. Those are the ones the companies really love, but when these people do get ill and need to use their insurance, to heck with what they've paid in the past and not used, up their premiums go. I think it's really Wrong.
