BlueCross BlueShield of CA on Trial

For the first time, BlueCross BlueShield of California will be go on trail for a rescinded policy with a California man who was involved in a disabling car accident. BlueCross BlueShield is stating that Steve Hailey, a former self-empolyed machinist, misrepresented himself when his wife filled out the application when she did not including his true weight and medical history of hypertension and headaches.

The Haileys are contesting that BlueCross BlueShield continued their coverage even after learning about Steve's condition, but dropped him two months after the accident when his claims started to out weight the premium that BlueCross BlueShield was collecting.
