@Owen Thomas: I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's felonious, actually.

@Owen Thomas: Those things are expected from companies on death watch, but I admit my stock line about insurance was a tad off-topic.

@sample032: You're entirely missing the point. Our source was paying his COBRA bill, but not getting the promised services. Wherever the money was going, it wasn't making it to the insurers. Doesn't that seem troubling?

Insurance is for things that you can't afford to cover. Dental expenses are in the same price range as car expenses. Given the choice, I'd gladly pick up the tab for my dental and stop paying for dental for coworkers' kids.

Wait, didn't Red Herring tank already once? Ya know, if you survive to fail multiple times, it starts to become a peculiar species of success.
