Liz Sherman, a hardworking Canadian, doesn't like what she sees in today's society. Much of the world caters to the well-off, and most average and low-income people find themselves shopping at second-hand stores, where prices continue to increase. Meanwhile, there is more anxiety than ever about obtaining worldly goods, with stress being taken on for appearances--not by necessity. But perhaps nothing is more frustrating than insurance companies, which have turned cheating hardworking people out of rightful claims into a science. In Targeted, the author shares how she battled insurance companies for almost nine years to get the settlement she deserved--and she also examines the myriad other ways that society abuses everyday people. When Sherman's legal battle finally ended, it was a sad victory, as she owed relatives and friends money and had suffered tremendous amounts of stress. She shares her inspiring story and argues that Canadians need a regulating agent to eradicate insurance company-sponsored fraud in this book.
