Toni Braxton: My Insurance Co. Has No Heart

1. First? Anyway, you talk about kicking someone when they're down! Shameful.

3. Sounds like every other insurance company screwing average Americans out of money. What else is new?

Obama will fix this. Don't worry.

4. Insurance companies have got to be the most corrupt industry of all. They always have their excuses not to pay something (like in this article) and are quick to increase your premiums. They are a massive and corrupt waste IMO.

7. If you know about a preexisting condition and don't disclose it, they have the right to not pay. I don't think it was nice of them, but they had a contract with that clause in it and she either forgot or didn't think it mattered to reveal the problem. I know it is a shame, but they are backed by other groups of people's money for each policy.

9. I live in New Orleans so hearing an insurance company doing this to someone is not surprising. There are still tons of people fighting for their insurance money from Katrina.

10. Too bad. Toni should have disclosed her condition and paid the higher premium. Lying/omitting information to insurance companies is always a no-no.

11. Toni should have had sleepwalking insurance. I saw the show, and she looked sooooo bored. Like she couldn't wait for the show to end. She just wanted out of that dog. I couldn't imagine having to endure that snoozefest night after night... in the end, I can't really blame her for using any excuse to jettison that sinking ship. Cut her some slack; staying in that awful show was cruel and unusual punishment, and she just couldn't take any more. I give her credit for not wanting to inflict any more pain on unsuspecting audiences...

13. It isn't exactly a secret that Toni Braxton has heart issues. I don't know how the insurance company can complain about a pre-existing condition. They allowed her to purchase the policy after her heart issues were well-publicized. Additionally, they could require a physical for the policy in which case her condition would have been discovered.

And I hardly think Obama would get involved in the affairs of a London company.

14. I'm certain what will work against her will be the fact that a few months after cancelling the shows in Vegas, she signs up to be on Dancing With The Stars in early 2008. It is well reported that being on the show calls for crueling practice sessions. Many on the show had to drop out due to the physical demands over the course of the last 2 seasons, as well as the current season. It seems her heart condition did not prevent her from dancing on this show, yet not perform singing in Vegas. Insurance companies will any angle to cancel a policy. I think they may win this one in court.

15. READ the policy before you purchase coverage. Its in the fine lines..............Bring your magnifying glass with you.
