EEllis, I thought stockboy&#39s reply was as though he was writing from a time warp...meant good naturedly, dear Stockboy, you are much enjoyed here at TMV.

In WordPress EEllis, it is sometimes hard to put spaces after the last line of an article. I swear some days you can, and some days... gremlins prevent it. Maybe in future &#39blasts from the SCOTUS&#39s past&#39 I ought embolden the year of the decision... although man, I have to say, that reading the old old decisions, so much of it was about individuals getting paid... an army officer who said he wasnt paid in full, a &#39coast guard&#39 sailor who said he wasnt paid what he was told he&#39d be paid... et al. One of the interesting things is that those old old cases, are still held up as precedent in modern times. That too, dont you think, amazing?

Also Don Quijote, you hit it. Ins. cos now/ ins. cos then. Mismo, mismo.

This is the only thing I&#39ve read on this case. It appears that he entered into a policy with certain restrictions. He violated the restrictions. I&#39m not sure why there is a question why the insurance company should pay.

No one forced him to enter into the insurance contract. If he had an issue with the provisions then this is a free country and he could have gone to another company for a contract he liked.

By the way, I think it is an immensely silly policy. I could understand why an insurance company might have travel restrictions to other countries, but to limit travel within the US really does seem silly. But like it or not, he agreed to it.

Bottom line: I support the insurance company in keeping up their end of the deal- no money, Though you just know that they paid way more than $2,000 in legal fees.
