TINA.org Supports FTC’s ‘Click to Cancel’ Rule against Industry Challenge
Companies should not be able to trap consumers into subscriptions that they do not want.
In July 2014, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Blue Cross of California for allegedly deceptively representing its individual health service plans. Among other things, the complaint claims that the company misrepresented that specific physicians and hospitals were participating in the Blue Cross EPO health service plan when, in reality, they were not. (Felser et al., v. Blue Cross of California, dba Anthem Blue Cross and DOES 1-100 inclusive, Case No. BC 550739, California Superior Court, Los Angeles).
