My mother had a PPO plan with Aetna when she was diagnosed with cancer at age 62. The insurance company was very involved with deciding her treatment choices and often disagreed with her doctors on the best treatment. Taking them to court wasn't a choice, she needed immediate treatment. We knew her cancer was terminal but I didn't like being told by the insurance company caseworker that it didn't matter what the treatment was since it was terminal. We were looking at quality of life issues more than extending life. It has been almost 14 years and I still get angry.
