If they weren't interchangeable, I wouldn't have used the terms. If you believe that they are NOT interchangeable, define your terms so we can see.

If the terms were interchangeable, then you could have answered the question as asked. The fact that you had to substitute terminology before you could answer the question, is proof positive that the two terms are different.

Can you define the terms? I don't even know what terms you guys are talking about.

I did answer the question. You didn't like the answer. If you feel I used the terminology incorrect me, define your term. These terms are interchangeable. I prefer the term that I used as it is more common in the field. My post would mean the same thing, regardless. If this is not what you meant, define your terms. Real easy, Voidwar.

Then define your terminology so we understand what we are discussing.

A blatant falsehood and I will prove it so again.

I work with insurance companies daily. Sad to say I would trust the government before I would trust an insurance company.

And to whom would one appeal a breached contract ?

Your attempt to use terminology substitution :
CaptainCourtesy said:
When one appeals a denial of benefits with the insurance company, one would appeal to the insurance company. When one would appeal a denial of benefits with a public option, one would appeal to the agency in charge of the public option...similar to appealing to Medicare, now.

As one can plainly see, CC did not answer MY question, but made up his own question, using terminology substitution, and then answered that.

Question was answered. Two possibilities. Either you didn't like the answer, or your term was unclear. If it was the former, too bad. If it was the latter, please define your term so we can understand what you meant.

No, it wasn't. You made up your own question, using terminology substitution, and then answered that.

I have proven you wrong on this point with the direct quotes several times over.

The terms are interchangeable. I have described this to you. I have also asked, repeatedly, for you to clarify your terms if this is not what you meant. Why are you unwilling to do that?

perhaps because breach of contract is a legal issue and he wants to talk about what will happen in the courts. perhaps he doesn't care about denial of benefits and thinks you are avoiding talking about the courts.
 
Voidwar said:
If that were true, you would have been able to answer the original question.

You weren't. So it is not true.

I did answer the original question proving that it is true.

So, now that we have that resolved, anything else you want to discuss on this issue?

If that were true he could explain how they were in breach of contract. What could they have possibly done?

As I already showed above and over and over, you did not answer the original question, you made up your own question, using terminology substitution, and answered that.

If an insurance company denies the issuing of benefits allowable in one's benefit package, this breaches the contract between the issuer and the subscriber. I have explained the procedure that is then carried out, through the appeal process all through the court system, regardless of the issuer, private or public. This does not seem to be what Voidwar means, so he needs to define his terms so he can be better understood.
