The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Well, then, um, continuing in my previous line of thought ...

Yesterday, the South Carolina Supreme Court upheld a trial court judgment against Fortis Insurance for Ten Million Dollars. Fortis rescinded the insurance policy of 18-year-old Jerome Mitchell when they discovered he had contracted HIV/AIDS in the year since he started coverage with them.

The Supreme Court stated Fortis' acts were "reprehensible" and "demonstrated an indifference to Mitchell's life and a reckless disregard of his health and safety."

For the sake of a hypothetical, Mr. scaeagles, let's assume this sort of thing was done, oh say 5 times by Fortis. Do those represent the policies of Fortis or the acts of 5 bad apples within Fortis?
