Hi everybody!!!
After two weeks of suffering a severe flu I´m back from the dead. I´m gathering all my strength in order to write an entry. I was bedridden for about ten days and I couldn´t do anything but sniffing and coughing. It was feeling really bad.
But now I am feeling much better and I hope that I can fulfill my weekly quota of blog entries. After looking through the other blogs I came across a lot of interesting topics.

The last few days I was reading quite a lot of interesting articles from the New York Times. There was one that really caught my eye. It was about some insurance companies that were trying to deny the claims of their policyholders. Most of them are elderly people who payed a lot of money for the insurance in order to go into a home for elderly people. Instead they have to fight for their rights in court and in most cases they even lose the lawsuit. I really was taken aback by the cunning methods the insurance companies use in order to avoid to pay their clients. There was an example of a 92 year old man who was given a wrong form to fill out ( on purpose!!!) and when it comes to paying him they denied his claim because of invalid paperwork.
The main point of the article was that most of these insurance companies were making a lot of money by denying claims of elderly people and they wait so long until they die. I really was shocked.
In other news: Mr. Newman showed us some wonderful new gadgets we can use to spice up our blogs. I just try and I hope it is working. Just have a look at my side bar!!
Enjoy reading!!
