I haven’t seen this survey, but my health insurance company has twice sent a survey they say will only take 20 minutes to complete. It ended up in the round file each time. The last one said they would call if it wasn’t returned. So far I haven’t heard from them. If I do, I’ll be hanging up on them!
If I don’t fill out United Health Care’s annual survey, they will increase my premiums by 20% that’s 20% more than their 2011 increase of 35% and 20% more on top of their 2012 increase of 30%.
They want to know if I smoke and how much I smoke, I lied to them for years on that one, then about 5 years ago, I really did quit smoking.
They want to know how many servings of certain vegies I eat in a weeks time, how many servings of fruit and grains, dairy products, meat, etc on and on.
How many minutes per week I exercise, how- walking, jogging, swimming, they want me to be very specific.
I also fill out one of these for my wife, none for the kids yet.
I lie outrageously on every single question, even when it’s not of any possible advantage for me to do so, for example, my height varies from year to year between 5’10” to 6’ 2” . They’ve never said a word about the deviations.
There’s another thing, then I’ll shut up. At the end of the survey there’s a little room for comments. The last two surveys I’ve filled out I wrote there, “All these very personal questions you ask me relating to my over all health, you’ve never asked me the one that would be most detrimental to my health and that is, are you a fudge packing homosexual”?
They haven’t answered my question yet.
