This insurance nightmare can happen and will probably happen in some manner to all of us, we must be vigilant and unite as one voice to prevent similar insurance travesty from happening. My insurance story later....
Please read and watch the compelling video.
I know of Hilda through one of my critical care nurses in one of my hospitals and learned of the immoral and inhumane actions by CIGNA Insurance. Hilda's mission is to change our corrupted health care system in the US....To change Erisa Law to Nataline's Law for NO more denial. When you have medical insurance through your employer Erisa Law applies. Join me...write to congress to make this change, insurance companies are in business for profit before patient. MY STORY WILL BE YOUR STORY IF WE DON'T MAKE THIS CHANGE NOW.
When Nataline Sarkisyan was denied the liver transplant her doctor thought could save her life, her mother and father brought her fight to the doorsteps of CIGNA insurance. By her side was American SiCKO Donna Smith and the California Nurses Association. The media picked up on the story which quickly became a public relations nightmare for CIGNA because of the real nightmare the Sarkisyan family was living. With no other choice, CIGNA finally approved Nataline's liver transplant but it was too late. Nataline died two hours later.
Wendell Potter was a CIGNA executive at the time. He saw the Sarkisyan's struggle from the inside of the profit-making company and knew that CIGNA would do whatever possible to protect the bottom line. Previously, potter had attended the premiere of 'SiCKO' with a large group of other insurance insiders set with the task of debunking the movie. But, instead, Potter was swayed and later said, "When I saw the movie, Ill be honest: I thought it was a real good documentary. I knew from my own studies of other healthcare systems that it was an accurate portrayal of those systems and how they are able to provide universal coverage."
Nataline Sarkisyan's death was the last straw for Potter. He resigned from CIGNA, blew the whistle on the industry, and became an activist for health care reform.
Here he is face-to-face with Nataline's family for the first time.

MY EXPERIENCE IS WITH ANTHEM BLUE CROSS; THEY NEARLY INCREASED MY MONTHLY INSURANCE PREMIUMS BY 40%. HOWEVER, FORTUNATELY ENOUGH PREMIUM HOLDERS COMPLAINED TO OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO GOT THEM TO BACK DOWN THIS PAST MARCH. ANTHEM IS RETALIATING BY IMMEDIATELY INCREASING OUR PRESCRIPTION CO-PAY AND PRESCRIPTION COSTS.
PLEASE SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS LIKE HILDA WHO IS FIGHTING A GREAT BATTLE - JOIN HER, PARTICIPATE! INSURANCE COMPANIES MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. ALTHOUGH I AM AGAINST BIGGER GOVERNMENT, AT TIMES THIS IS THE ONLY PROTECTION WE HAVE.
INSURANCE COMPANIES CAN AND WILL SCREW WITH ALL OF US - EVENTUALLY.
LETS STOP THEM!
