How about some balanced reporting?</p> GAYCMEGUY – Interesting that you will bash one company and very willingly provide their name while only referring the company that you like as “my current employer’s provider”.

I have stories about Humana that rival your 3 year late card. They 'divorced' me from my PCP, and sent me a "Dear John" letter telling me to retrieve my medical records, after I had complications from a shoulder surgery and refused to return to the same surgeon after he gave differing stories to me in his office, and then to my PCP. My acid letters to insurance companies, Hospital CEOs, and others have become legendary. I have horror stories of other insurance providers, as well. Fortunately, my current employer's provider has been good to me.</p> I beg to differ. I have stories about Humana that rival your 3 year late card.
