Default An example of why a public option would be nice in the United States

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...98/detail.html

I predict the Usual Suspects will harp on this:

'In a statement to 7NEWS the insurance company said, "We did not receive a full and timely payment and (Mrs. Flanagan) was provided several notices of the shortage and a grace period reminder notice on the last invoice, along with extended grace dates as provided for under COBRA regulations."'

Because, you know, a corporation like this is scrupulously honest and would never lie/deceive. I'm sure the notices WEREN'T buried in the teensy, tiny print of a bill w/the deliberate intent that they be missed!!! Also, you want to be on THEIR side over that of the little guy, anyway.
