The way Dana Christensen sees it, she and her husband got scammed. In early 2001, seven years after Doug had successfully battled bone cancer, the couple needed new health insurance. So they were all ears when a representative from a group called the National Association for the Self-Employed knocked on the door of Doug's boat repair business in Marina del Rey, Calif. The rep offered what sounded like a great deal: For just $434 a month, MEGA Life & Health Insurance Co. would cover them both. The policy even carried a chemotherapy rider in case Doug's cancer came back.

Driving the trend is a punishing combination of soaring health-care costs and shrinking employer coverage. The ranks of uninsured Americans jumped again last year, by 1.4 million, to 45 million, according to new data released Aug. 26 by the Census Bureau. As more families are tossed out of employer coverage, they're left to fend for themselves in the bewildering world of health insurance.

As for the Christensens, Dana's suit against NASE and MEGA is still pending, even as parent UICI set aside $25 million to settle at least four separate suits alleging that the insurer fraudulently used NASE and other associations to sell its insurance.

Funny how MSNBC sees no cause and effect...

There is a simple way to get around this situation...Just say you are an illegal alien and all medical care is FREE!!!

I know what a scam the NASE is. It struck me funny that Mr "Who's lookin out for you" O'Reilly is always on the radio pushing it.
