Insurance Horror Stories
By PAUL KRUGMAN
Published: September 22, 2006
When Steve and Leslie Shaeffers daughter, Selah, was diagnosed at age 4 with a potentially fatal tumor in her jaw, they figured their health insurance would cover the bulk of her treatment costs. But shortly after Selahs medical bills hit $20,000, Blue Cross stopped covering them and eventually canceled her coverage retroactively.
So begins a recent report in The Los Angeles Times titled Sick but Insured? Think Again, which offers a series of similar horror stories, and suggests that these stories represent a growing trend: more and more health insurers are finding ways to yank your insurance when you get sick.
This trend helps explain something that has been puzzling me: why is the health insurance industry growing rapidly, even as it covers fewer Americans?
