There is a reason I can't take out an fire insurance policy on your house, because I would have an interest in your house burning down. This is wrong on so many levels it's ridiculous, the people weren't made aware that the company had a policy on them, most of these companies that we know that do them...were slipped out by accident. Somewhere a piece of paper read Dead Employee = $81,000(which I use that number because of a 26 year that died - Walmart - and ran up 100k in hospital bills and a 6k funeral)...her family didn't receive a dime of help. There is something wrong with that picture, when a company hopes you die and profits from you dying(esp at a young age when the profits are higher). There is absolutely no reason why one of the richest corporations in the world should be able to do this, along with any company.
