hmmm...when our cabin was flooded by a broken pipe fixture (during Ruth's chemo to boot) and insurance was really balking I finally wrote to the state insurance board. That got Travelers moving in a hurry. It was a good "learning" for me as they had me believing their claims that they were not resonsible for x , y and z. (they were) I called the TX State Insurance Board as a last resort. Traveler's did an abrupt about face, and it was clear that they were just out to try to fleece us if they could.

Is there something like this for health insurance?? (maybe even the same entity?)
