perhaps in that instance LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 16/09/2009 05:12:48 AM
but it appears to be that the insurance company can still apply it even if you've divorced the spouse?

I can't remember if that was in the article or someone's comment. I'm tired and don't care to check :P

Even if you were still married to them, what if you wanted psychological therapy to gain the strength to divorce them. In this instance, I could see how that'd actually be a pretty good investment for the company. Pay a portion of the person's therapy fees, and then sign them on as a fully insured client (perhaps at an increased rate).

In anycase, you could probably argue all sides all day and not get anywhere.

If you want to link a real news source then it is worth looking into random thoughts - 16/09/2009 02:33:32 PM 349 Views
Umm....if the person is still in that relationship, then it seems like a pretty smart practice to me Brian - 15/09/2009 11:34:00 PM 379 Views
I had that thought at first too, nossy - 16/09/2009 12:03:58 AM 387 Views
