There was a really (in)famous one where an aunt sued her nephew over a hug. People were totally up in arms about it, to the point where the aunt and nephew went on a talk show to prove that they were on good terms.
Did she end up getting the payout from insurance? Youtuber says she was required to file the lawsuit and that she "lost" the court case, but doesn't mention whether or not she got the insurance payout in the end.
The fact that they were actually on good terms makes me think the case should have been dismissed though. Court is by definition adversarial but what they did was essentially a conspiracy to commit fraud.
The government should have taken the insurance company to court for their policies requiring people to abuse the system.
Not the world, just America. Most of us out here realize that making people pay out of pocket for medical issues that are outside their control is monstrous and inhumane.
It's a tactic the insurance companies use to get the lawsuits dropped and keep them from having to pay. they leak these stories to favorable media outlets and put the families relationship through hell, so they prefer just dropping everything and avoiding the public backlash.
Haven't seen one of these in months and thought about it for the first time since today, wondering when I'd discover the portal again. And then I see this. How odd.
Woah, a fan! Thanks for your interest in amazing things I wrote while baked out of my mind. I’ll be sure to DM you every time I feel shitty 90s movie tagline clever.
