I will offer this tale. A long time ago in a state nearby, I worked for a small company (let's call them fooco) that had decided to self-insure part of it's health insurance. When a claim came in, the claims processor would ask fooco for the money to pay the claim, and then issue a check to the employee. Most of the employees did not realize that the claims were being paid by fooco, since the checks came from the claims processor.

When the company fell on hard times, the CEO started delaying deposits into the account at the benefit company. Claims payment stopped cold. Since I was married to the HR person at the time, I knew what was going on. We started looking for work immediately. It took us 6 months and a geographical re-location to leave. The company lasted for another 4 years, then crashed.

I've left before, and I'll do it again if I have to. I urge you to start looking now. SPAM today, fraud tomorrow.
