Campaign for insurance?



Recommended Posts

I've been thinking that it would be good to start a campaign to require insurance companies to pay for banding. After all, we're talking about one of the leading killers in America. There's a way to do something about it, but many insurance companies won't do it. It shouldn't make rates go up because the banding will save other, much higher expenses like heart surgery. Perhaps a letter-writing campaign and a petition would get it started and media coverage would keep it rolling. Any thoughts?

I think you'll find one of two realities in the near future. One is that more companies will begin to offer it as it transitions out of its current "experimental" status. This should be happening in the near future. Two is that fewer companies will offer it, because on a long term basis, they just don't see the ROI. (see previous thread for reasoning and numbers here).

Good luck with your campaigning. :welldoneclap:
