You are a better person for taking the high road. The willingness to compromise on ethics leads to a very slippery slopw down. I applaud your action, and wish such courage could pay bills. You could go the extra mile & contact the insurance commissioner of your state and advise of what you were asked to do. Crap like she tries to pull costs all of us more in premiums. I hope she gets busted for insurance fraud if she moves forward on her little ploy.
