Assurant Health ought to be immediately investigated and penalized — if not entirely shut down.
Previously undisclosed records from Mitchell’s case reveal that Fortis [now known as Assurant] had a company policy of targeting policyholders with HIV. A computer program and algorithm targeted every policyholder recently diagnosed with HIV for an automatic fraud investigation, as the company searched for any pretext to revoke their policy. As was the case with Mitchell, their insurance policies often were canceled on erroneous information, the flimsiest of evidence, or for no good reason at all, according to the court documents and interviews with state and federal investigators.
Rat bastards of the worst order. Not only do the Republicans want to preserve this system, they want to allow it to get worse.
