During the Iraq war/occupation and, I suppose, Afghanistan, we gave companies like Xe hundreds of millions of dollars with which to purchase health insurance for their employees who served as mercenaries for our military. From an article I read in 2009 or 2010, AIG, acting like so many other health insurers, was denying claims or delaying claims payments to hundreds of employees who were injured or became ill while on the job in those foreign countries. Why they should be "popular" in red or any other color state, I do not know. Why they shouldn't pay what is due our government I do not know either. All your cautions about avoiding both AIG and its mortgage guarantor are 100 percent justified.
