Soldiers To Get Refunds of Insurance Premiums 
Good news for soldiers, thanks to some first-rate reporting by the New York Times' Diana Henriques.

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


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.

Splash, out

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.
