AIG is now using this bailout money to fight people who sacrificed dearly in the Iraq conflict.
The insurance firm is fighting a truck driver for KBR who lost a leg and an eye to a roadside bomb while working in Iraq. AIG has refused to pay for a plastic leg, a wheelchair, and new glasses.
This is yet another case in which greedy insurers - not doctors - are making health decisions for patients. Shouldn't this decision be up to a doctor and not an insurance company?
Meanwhile, AIG spends bailout money on huge bonuses and luxurious getaways for its execs.
It turns out that denying claims is a pattern by AIG. They've repeatedly denied claims by contractors injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many have died.
The government needs to take back every bit of bailout funds AIG got.

The Obama regime isn't in a hurry to take back the money. The Treasury is resisting attempts by banks who want to repay TARP funds. Some banks who didn't want the money in the first place were forced to take it. Can you guess why?
