    The insurance company tried to cheap out on the $1100 and got bit by their own avarice and greed. I’m willing to bet they ignored her pleas for justice. The jury of ordinary people is sending a message to this insurance company … I think they are listening now.

    Is it really “dishonest” to reimburse the policyholder his actual cost rather than to pay the amount the provider puts on the bill, when that is NOT the amount the policyholder paid?

    How can this judgement possibly meet the guidelines from the Supreme Court laid out a few years back? This is how many times the amount of damages? I can’t count that high. I think the Supremes allowed triple damages. Wait for the appeal.

    Why do plaintiffs and their attorneys constantly lie to everyone and say “…it’s not about the money…” when IN FACT, it’s ALWAYS about the money. I really pray that these liars get a first class ticket to hell.

    “This was never about the money to her,” Gould said. “She just wanted justice for Oklahoma educators.” Yeah right, but as for plaintiff’s attorney, is sure as hell is about the money…I haven’t seen or heard of any of these guys working PRO BONO. or else it would be truly about justice, not money…

    This is a perfect example of why insurance companys get so many black eyes. This company, American Fidelity, and their sister company American Public Life, had been advised by their own counsel not to change their practices but greed got the better of them and they proceeded anyway. Did they lie to their prospective policyholders when they sold them coverage? You bet, and they don’t care.

    Isn’t pay back hell?!
