Soldiers To Get Refunds of Insurance Premiums
Good news for soldiers, thanks to some first-rate reporting by the New York Times' Diana Henriques.
Link.
The company in question, American Amicable Life, out of Waco, Texas, along with First Command (Why is it these companies always seem to be from Texas?) and a few others--are desperately trying to avoid getting their business models ripped out from under them by congress. A few lousy refunds and a few rogue salesmen thrown out the door is a small price to pay for congressional goodwill.
It's not enough, though.
The tactics used by American Amicable, particularly, were so cynical and unethical that the company should be forced to pay a heavy price for what can only be either a jarring negligence in oversight or willful complicity in the practice.
The relevant state insurance commissions should not only make soldiers whole, but also finance a substantial expansion of military financial education programs.
Here's one that can certainly use the money.
What's more, you can donate. Active Duty military members can even donate by allotment.
(Reserve component soldiers can't do allotments, though. "One Army" concept, and all that. Thank you, ARPERCEN!
I've tapped this program a couple of times to help soldiers. It makes a difference.

Hundreds of soldiers who unwittingly signed up for high-cost life insurance during basic training at Fort Benning, Ga., will receive full cash refunds from the insurance company whose agents sold the policies, a spokesman for the company confirmed yesterday

Hi ##NAME##. I don't normally bother with comments but feel a little bored today and am trying to waste a little time. I was just surfing around the net (actually looking for info on donate car salvation army) when I came across your blog. Just wanted to let you that I've gone back and read through some of your past posts. They caught my interest and I can relate to a quite a bit of what you say. So keep it up - I guess.

Hey ##NAME##, how's it going? I just came across your blog and I've gone through a lot of what you've written in the past. I can see what you are saying and can relate to bit of it. Its actually weird that I ended up at your blog, cause I was actually doing an assignment, looking for information on donate cars to the blind. Even though your posts didn't exactly correspond to what I'm trying to find, it was still a good distraction. I guess it always is when you've got to do a damn assignment. Thanks anyway.

Well I just got back from karate and I am so tired. I am currently doing some research for school and stumbled across your blog. Which cracks me up really. The internet can certainly bring you in the wrong direction. Even though your blog is not completely related I think your doing a great job. I have read back through the archives and lots of people make some very valid points. Well I have been on-line forever it seems. I need to continue to plug away at home owner low cost insurance. If you have the energy swing by our site. I try to update my site weekly and maybe you will see something you like. I already snagged your URL and put it in my favorites. If you do not mind I will be back again. Great job! Sincerely home owner low cost insurance.

Hey!! Very nice blog :0) I just got inside from washing and waxing my truck. It is my baby. Took me 2 hours though. So I settled down into my basement and started doing some web surfing. Anyways I am in the process of grabbing my masters degree and have spent the last 6 months researching aig home owner insurance. In the midst of my surfing I landed smack dab in the middle of your blog. I hope you do not think I am intruding but I must say it is great blog. Even though your blog is way off base from aig home owner insurance I found myself cruising through your blog archives for the last half hour :0) You have some nice blogging friends. Anyways, I need to get back to my mission. I wrote don�t your url and feel free to visit me here at http://www.homeowner-insurance-quote.com. I am so busy so I can only update my site monthly. Keep up the great work.
