Grassley probing Aetna over healthcare plan that left Texas man owing $200,000.

Grassley probing Aetna over healthcare plan that left Texas man owing $200,000.
The New York Times (7/3, B4, Abelson) reported that Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley (R) last week wrote to Aetna "asking for details about a policy it sold to a man in Texas that left him owing nearly $200,000 in medical bills. The man, Lawrence Yurdin, age 64, was included in a front-page article in The New York Times on Tuesday about the many people whose insurance coverage does not protect them from financial ruin in the case of a medical crisis. Although Mr. Yurdin and the hospital where he received heart treatments say they both understood that the Aetna policy covered up to $150,000 a year in hospital care, the fine print excluded nearly all of the medical care he received. He and his wife, Claire, filed for personal bankruptcy in December." The Times notes that Grassley "also investigated some of the health plans that another insurer, the UnitedHealth Group, sold through AARP, the advocacy group for older people. Those plans, which also had sharp limits on coverage, are no longer being sold."
