Safe information even states that the fact that the skai.gr She brought to light her intentions for the “old” insurance contracts, forced the “Colossus” insurance company not just to “folded“, but to finally get back the new data he had put on the table.

Thus, it undertakes its decision on approximately 19,000 old health contracts, which had described in detail in its report on May 7 at Skai.gr. A case that had brought her first in the light of publicity, revealing the dangers that were followed by other companies the same tactic.

In addition, the company itself was forced to finally make its decisions back and as the information says, it may be appointed to its old insureds specific hospitals with which they will be contracted and can be hospitalized if needed, without paying a euro out of their pockets, after their pockets. In other words, the standard practice of years will continue to be followed.
