1- the article was about a HMO company and a hospital not getting bills worked out so the patient had to deal with it all. He got his car taken away and had to go to court over this whole thing.
2- I think "Lenny" should drop his HMO and get his own personal insurance policy so he wont have to go though all that again. The hospital was more than understanding about this whole thing and gave his car back.
