- <p> BAIT AND SWITCH
- </p>
- <p> Why the U.S. Supreme Court refused last week to hear the case
- of John McGann is not nearly as clear as the possible
- repercussions of that decision. McGann, a Houston music-store
- clerk, had his medical insurance suddenly cut from $1 million
- to $5,000 after his employer learned he had AIDS. An unusual
- alliance of American Medical Association officials and AIDS
- activists says the court's inaction may embolden other employers
- who promise medical benefits to retroactively refuse insurance
- payouts . McGann did not live to hear the bad news: he died in
- June 1991.
