Why do people have a lower opinion of politicians than of insurance companies?

Mark Lindquist is a hero. He was injured on the job -- in Joplin, Missouri during the tornado on May 22, 2011. His injuries and his characterization as a hero came from his performing job related duties during that tornado.

According to Accident Fund Insurance Company of America, Lindquist isn't entitled to Workman's comp, "based on the fact that there was no greater risk than the general public at the time you were involved in the Joplin tornado."

So, that outfit would deny compensation to delivery truck driver, "based on the fact that there was no greater risk than the general public at the time you were involved in that traffic accident?" It makes you wonder about the validity of this "insurance" company's denial of 7 other claims from injuries received during the tornado.

  1. Update: "Insurance firm agrees to pay Joplin survivor"

    It's too bad that it takes being held up to public ridicule to get some people to to the right thing.

    I still wonder about the validity of the denials of those other claims.
