Hopefully it does a HAL9000 and takes the company down. Not much fun dealing with Wellpoint as many of you will find out one day.

Well, I'm not sure diagnosing "such intricate conditions as cancer, diabetes and kidney disease" is really all that intricate, from a very general (non histologic) point of view. Treatment, eh, certainly -can- be. It's all well and good to have Yet Another Online Medical Resource available, and frankly I occasionally check emedicine and similar sites for certain things from time to time, but it's quite another to have a computer spit out a "denial" from an insurance company -- though that may be what is more or less already occurring. Approvals and denials of service probably need to be coming from a person or entity that has no personal financial interest in not paying for it.
