Jon makes an excellent point. Knowledge of the law is usually the best
way to fight the improper use of it. I know that several people on
this list, who have had problems like this, educated themselves and
went back at it with regs in hand and finally got things going in the
right direction. Similarly, it's why I'm not paying disability
insurance for myself for my own company. The insurance company said
the State required it, but I didn't believe them. So I got the State's
legal council on the phone and he said it was BS and was kind enough to
tell me what obscure paragraph in a HUGE bill proved that it was.
Armed with the facts the insurance company folded quickly. The squeaky
wheel gets oiled (most of the time).
