the company refused to pay based on a 3-year old-reference to an "angina episode."
Note the 3 yr lookback.
My guess is this was a STM with a 5 yr lookback.
Time writes more STM than almost anyone. The liberal underwriting & 5 yr lookback make it easy for them to be a target for this kind of journalism.
I am not a fan of Time, but this looks like a setup.
