CUNA Mutual Insurance Society Loses Big For Paying Small

Posted on Jul 23, 2009

CUNA Mutual was robbing this poor old lady. Literally. They took her premiums for over a year and then, when she had to quit working because of many problems, told her she didn't qualify.

These problems weren't hangnails or a twisted ankle. We're talking about some serious arthritis followed by the onset of cancer. CUNA tried to argue that she wasn't disabled when she had cancer, cancer that eventually took her life, and that she was still able to work!

The insurance companies just don't know when to quit. There's a line between running a business and human decency. I mean the insurance company is basically trying to sell a product that they find ways to make impossible to utilize. People buy these plans to protect themselves from even less than what Ms. Powell went through. I'm not going to say don't buy insurance, but be careful what insurance you do buy.

That's not the end of it though. CUNA has been found to have been doing this similar thing to a lot of people, at least 18 were brought up in court. Ms. Powell said before her passing "I want to be treated fairly, but I also want to know that other people are not going to be abused like I am being abused. And I want this company to come clean and treat their clients with respect." Thanks to her fight, CUNA and other insurers will have to think even harder before denying genuine claims.
