"Your argument about the football coach is a red herring. Lying about your diploma is generally grounds for termination of employment because the punishment fits the "crime." Would understating your weight by 35 pounds be grounds for firing you from a desk job? I don't think so."
Nope no herring, not even trout. Why is one acceptable and the other not? because today it's something you support? Me? I've got dog in this fight, but I know both parties did something wrong. I could understand if it came down to choosing food and shelter before medical care, but do "we" know that is her case? Maybe she wanted to travel and didn't see the value of owning health care. Maybe her rates went up because of her condition (treatments) with her old plan and there wasn't a provision for portability in arnold land? So she pulled a fast one by not disclosing information. Evidently they found her out so somebody treated her previously.
Would it be OK to lie on auto insurance about DWI's? I mean I only got one and I don't drink that often......
Should I disclose 3 tickets?
Call it a red herring if you wish but simply calling it a red herring doesn't dismiss which actions are acceptable and which aren't.
I feel sorry for the lady if an agent sat there with her and walked her through an app and caused this, but then again I wasn't there and don't know, but usually I finish my applications at signature reading the fine print (yes, that's why I'm poor) and the statement "and to the best of your knowledge, everything here in this application is truthful and honest." But she wasn't one of my clients.
