I remember her from the 90s, when she was frequently on a programme called <i>Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher</i>. In fact, when I first heard that Christine O'Donnell was running for Senate, I thought that it must be some other Christine O'Donnell. <br /><br />She really is as stupid and fundie Xian as she comes across.<br /><br />Yes, it's scary. Scarier for me, because I live here. I might have to live in a country where people like her (and there are some others -- I'll get to them in a moment) have actual power to affect policy. I already live amongst people who think like her and think that her views are reasonable.Montana Wildhackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409705185204787671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-4103989684308902552010-10-09T00:57:15.233+01:002010-10-09T00:57:15.233+01:00@James, Paul, Leni

The health insurance non-disclosure thing ...@<b>neil</b>:<br /><br />The health insurance non-disclosure thing you describe has been standard procedure here for years. It's referred to as a "pre-existing condition" here. If you had anything -- asthma, Parkinson's, even allergies sometimes, insurance companies had the right to refuse to insure you at all. It's one of the things that just changed last week as part of the health care "reform" that was passed earlier this year. It is no longer legal for them to refuse to insure you.Montana Wildhackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409705185204787671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-60690127708454279092010-10-09T00:24:24.523+01:002010-10-09T00:24:24.523+01:00Sweet baby jeebus -- just been reading Waddaya.

I heard a report on the BBC today about insurance companies using a get out clause based on a decision from 1650 which concerned the treatment of French prisoners in Madagascar.<br /> It allows them to refuse health insurance payments to people who've paid their money for years, on the grounds of non disclosure.<br /> One man was who got lukemia was refused his the payments he was morally entitled to because he hadn't told them about an earlier ear infection, so he wasn't legally entitled.<br /> There were other examples equally bizarre, the non disclosure doesn't have to be deliberate, or fraudulent. ie if you had a broken toenail that you didn't tell your health insurer about, that's your claim invalid.<br /> Even the guy from the law firm said it was daft, but hey, that's the law, so what could he do?neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751505732215847996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141707904735688626.post-91256827411534017662010-10-09T00:08:47.680+01:002010-10-09T00:08:47.680+01:00Pip,
