Well, I do spend some time on reading this thread and being silent reader. So far what I see is, insurance agents will says how superior their brand is and never say anything bad.
When some people saying bad on insurance, those fellows will being group bashed by all the agents here. If were to say getting fair review, I don't see the term of "fair" can be used in this forum.
I know that in cyber world are more for people to release stress, but at the same time I do hope to see real world fair review and not 1 side story which not that happening here.
So, any views on that 3 news I posted? I would like to hear from insurance agent on this and not just attacking it. Like Supersound said before, insurance agents will only cheat and mislead to secure a business. I do see there's truth on his statement considering that 3 news.
1. Malpractice by agents who don't follow guidelines would be dealt with their own insurance company. Happens to any industry out there. Lawyers, doctors, accountant, auditors, are they all saints ? why put the blame to just insurance industry ? are they any different ? are salesman of any company different out there different when they mis-sell and promise the heavens in advertising, healthcare, etc ?
The summary of it is integrity and ethics, it's too bad that somewhere in our walk of life we meet some of these people, unless your life had been a bed of roses and everyone is treating you well, then good for you.
2. Insurance company has every right to investigate or doubt a claim
a. Not because they don't want to pay out anything but because if they do doubt a claim to cheat insurance money which happens alot including General Insurance (fake a windscreen broke when they just want to break it to claim a new 1

, set their own building on fire to cash out quickly on a property but claim it's arson

).
Well you can argue that those are not medical claims, so what about undeclared personal health condition upon inception of policy, hiding material facts, working with the doctor to jack up a medical bill which is out of the norm and claim back later for personal use ?
You think we've not seen it all ? Faking death, missing and then claim a high sum assured later to found out that person ran away and hid somewhere and claim insurance money to live a life somewhere else ?
b) If the insurance company is satisfied with all the material fact, payout is definitely.
