Praise
“Ray Bourhis continues his strong commitment to justice by successfully taking on the insurance industry and criminal fraud in this compelling case study. He makes clear that we need to do much more to end the shameful abuses of the current system and guarantee honorable insurance coverage for every American.”
—Senator Edward M. Kennedy
“What has happened to Joan Hangarter—and so many others like her—is a grave injustice…. Readers of this book should urge their congressional representatives to force the big insurance companies to honor their obligations just as the holders of those policies honor theirs.”
—John Garamendi, Insurance Commissioner, State of California
“Painstakingly documented, hilarious, and insightful. A seething indictment of the out-of-control insurance industry and its friends in Congress and on the U.S. Supreme Court who have given it a green light to defraud Americans.”
—Amy Bach, Executive Director, United Policyholders
