Marly Silverman presents her experience as a part of her testimony before CFSAC . This is a typical story experienced by various patients.
"The regulations of ERISA are excessive and extremely bureaucratic. They are part of an “administrative process” that uses language or legalese, which is often contradictory and counter-productive to the well being of the claimant, i.e. the individual who is sick or injured. This administrative process is long, and tiring. One must exhaust all of the steps in the administrative process, before one is allowed to file a suit against the employer/insurance company. By the time one is actually able to do this, personal savings are gone, and a financial crisis of long-term proportion sets in"
It is high time we work together to alter ERISA to create a win win situation for all sides.
