United States of America (Press Release) August 22, 2007 --
Over 51.2 million people, nearly 1 out of 5 U.S. residents has some level of disability. 20% are women and 17% are men. Over half of our work force, 56% of the population, ages 21 to 64, has some type of disability.
The insurance industry, and specifically disability insurance, is an industry rife with unethical practices. The crisis is rooted in the industry’s gross overselling of disability policies to younger professionals in the 1970’s and 80’s. As that population aged and its claims increased dramatically, the insurance companies began casting about for ways - not always legitimate - to cut their losses. This is not about arguing with an insurance company over your standard coverage or their prompting you as the insured to seek mediocre care. This documentary is about insurance companies’ deliberate “policy” of wrongfully black-balling policyholders, and using hardball tactics like the threat of criminal charges, paying other individuals to make disparaging remarks about the insured, pressuring doctors to renege on their diagnosis, malice, fraud, oppression, involving the Social Security Administration, the IRS and even the United States Postal Service, deposing the insured’s ex-spouse, counter-suing, stealing property and files, and finally, speaking to sources without permission and refusing to identify those sources, even in a court of law.
Commonplace in the disability insurance industry, all of these actions are intended to ruin the insured’s reputation and cast doubt on their character. In the end, it is all calculated for one purpose and one purpose alone, to cheat people out of their rightful benefits.
