imagine going to a store, buy an ice. Say to the cashier its below 5$ so you wont pay. Rinse and repeat.

Another example of capitalism fucking everyone over. You know who got paid for certain? Lawyers.

I wonder how many people didn't get paid their 'under 5 dollars'. Would be neat to add up that total.

Blue Cross Blue Shield

Plaintiffs allege that Settling Defendants violated antitrust laws by entering into an agreement not to compete with each other and to limit competition among themselves in selling health insurance and administrative services for health insurance. Settling Defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing and assert that their conduct results in lower healthcare costs and greater access to care for their customers.

I'm so confused. Who is/isn't paying who?

Delay. Deny. Depose.

Heck I was unaware of this and I have had BCBS for years from illinois, texas, and mass at various times.

I just checked my claim and I got the same thing. I wonder how much money they will recoup from doing this to everyone. Maybe we can start another class action lawsuit so lawyers can make even more money.

Don't sign up for a class action law suit. File your own claim in a small claims court. You'll get more money out of the law suit. Also, if everyone filed a small claims law suit, the companies would have to pay out more.

If a 100 people each sued for $20,000. That would be $200,000. Each of those 100 claims costs the company about 10 hours in billable hours and the lawyers are charing $500 per hour. That's about $50,000 gone.

Now, let's say 100,000 people sue for $20,000, that's $2,000,000,000 being paid out with $500,000,000 in legal fees.

1,000,000 people at $20,000 is $20,000,000,000 to be paid out with $5,000,000,000 in legal fees.
