Class Action Lawsuit Filed Vs. Anthem Blue Cross

12:47 am EST March 2nd, 2010 | News | 3 Comments

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of greedy ghouls.

A consumer watchdog group filed a lawsuit Monday against California’s largest for-profit health insurer on behalf of policyholders, claiming they were pushed to take coverage with fewer benefits and higher deductibles.

In the case filed in Ventura Superior Court, Anthem Blue Cross is accused of violating a California law requiring health insurers to offer new, comparable coverage or minimize premium increases when they close a policy.

According to the lawsuit, plaintiffs Mary Feller and Randy Freed received similar form letters from the Woodland Hills-based insurer, stating their policies were closed and they could ‘switch to any Anthem Blue Cross individual health plan with no underwriting required.’

    See this is why we need tort reform! These nobodies shouldn’t be able to force a nice corporation like Anthem BC to obey the law! Laws are for little people!

    Ah HA, but if corporations are people, as the Extreme Court has ruled, they should have to stand up in court.
