I HOPE I LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE DAY INSURANCE COMPANIES PAY FOR THEIR EVIL PRACTICES.

Not surprising as US citizens are becoming the 'second class' citizen while the Marxist-Liberals freely give 'first class' status and millions in benefits to the illegals and anchor babies.

However he contracted Hepatitis C should not be a basis for denial the fact that the disease was contracted while employed as a state or federal employee should be sufficient. All the widow should have to prove is that when he was hired as a Boston Police Officer he did not have hepatitis C.

It should not be that hard to prove how he contracted it. Especially after 13 years of trying to prove your case. Can't a lawyer request arrest and case files pertaining to this officer. If anyone he arrested or came in contact with had or has the disease then isn't that enough proof?Pay the widow her money.

Agree with the comment, "He did not have Hep C when he became an officer." I cannot begin to count the number of potential exposures I have had in 25 years as an officer. We deal with that kind of people all the time. My exposures off the job or before becoming an officer I can count on one finger or less! It is obvious where he got it.

And each one of us may have to make the same argument - or at least our widows might. So keep track of your blood tests and make sure that during regular blood work you check for Hep C and others.

I call on God to keep me safe, but the truth is that may not be all that is needed. Follow precautions!

It’s a shame that our Brother Ofcr Shaw can't rest in peace while his poor family suffers through this unjust bureaucratic red tape. Mrs. Shaw who worked and suffered alongside her husband deserves her survivor benefits.
