Health care troubles.

Health Care Troubles: Los Angeles City Attorney's Office accused one of the state's largest health insurers, Health Net Inc., of selling individual policies with the promise of medical coverage while engaging in a secret and illegal scheme to drop patients if they needed expensive treatment. The Feb. 20 filing said that the company defrauded thousands of policyholders using "a wide range of unlawful, unfair and fraudulent acts and practices" which were aimed at avoiding payment for expensive treatment by canceling the policies of those who needed it.
