Insurers thrive on bullying their customers, but they’re also banking as you say on you not having the wherewithal to fight. Take your bill and that telephone transcript to the nastiest lawyer you can find, and fire a copy to the Toronto Star and CBC while you’re at it.

Hi Linda, I do appreciate your supportive words but I also wonder about the usefulness of lazy/not-lazy when we apply it to ourselves. You’re talking about situations where you would be completely vulnerable with potentially terrifying results. Resistance and anger are more signs of strength than apathy. And I would definitely be leaving out important facts if I didn’t acknowledge that I too get snappy at times. Not being able to do things for myself requires more patience than I have at times.
