Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

In The Know: House Dem complains about his own insurance
By Christina Wilkie - 09/28/09 06:13 PM ET

Insurance companies might not want to take for granted that Rep. Allen Boyd (D-Fla.) is sympathetic to their cause.

Sure, the influential Blue Dog Democrat has indicated he doesn’t like the public option because it would drive those insurance companies out of business.


But there’s one company that’s kind of ticking him off these days: the one he pays premiums to. Seems Boyd recently had knee-replacement surgery that was covered by his health insurance. But the company isn’t being so generous about paying for physical therapy.


“That doesn’t make any sense, does it?” he asked ITK last week. “They pay for the surgery, but not for the therapy you need for it.”

(Pretty sad that this only made it into the Hill's gossip section. Hypocrisy at it's Nth degree!)

2. Yet another way that the blue dogs are just like republicans...

They have NO IDEA why someone would have a problem with something until THEY, or someone they love has a problem with it. Suddenly they see the light. What is wrong with these people?

3. Wait until Boyd gets cancer and his insur.co. denies his claim based on pre-existing knee problems.
