Paying fpr chemo and surgeries as long as they are not experimental is what we are supposed to do and that is what the person or organization who pays for the premium has agreed to with the insurance company. I didn't see why her meds were temporarily denied but were they not generic or maybe they were not part of the company's grug formulary. She needs to know that she should not get a disease that requires a drug that is not in the formulary.
She obviously did not plan this out too well.

Well you can debate emotionally and sarcastically all you want, but that doesn't change the facts here. The only issue with the ins co cited in this article is a 2 month denial of a drug that might have helped a little. They did not deny chemotherapy or 2 surgeries. During those 2 months without approval of the meds, there is no way a woman like Norma Rae is just going to say, oh never mind. If it were me, I would beg, borrow or steal the money to pay for the meds and deal with (or have someone else deal with) the insurance company during those months. She obviously was able to get them to reverse the decision. READ THE ARTICLE. Where was this woman's family, friends and union to help her pay for those meds while waiting for the ins co?
Your emotions are being played upon (and preyed upon) by Daniel Tencer and Danarhea. And while the knee-jerkers are ignoring the facts and crying murder, you're exploiting a woman's death to further your own agenda.
Insurance company death panel strikes again. It is notable that insurance company death panels routinely sentence people to death each and every day. It is also notable that, under either the Democratic or Republican health plans in Congress, this would be a criminal act. If the Republicans get what they want, that is, no Obama Care, Liberals should still be happy that insurance company death panels would be illegal. Liberals and Conservatives can argue all they want about the rest, but don't you think this would be a decent first step? IMHO, this provision, under the plans from BOTH sides, would be the American thing to do. Whatever we argue about on the rest of either plan, this provision needs to be passed NOW.
Article is here.
You do not have the right to steal from others, no matter how badly you may want it.
Then why does anyone hire unionized workers, thereby paying more money without getting more value in return?
Really prove it then, I'm from Maine have family in New Hampshire and Upper State New York who work in Hospitals and health Providers and they have since the mid 80s seen more and more Canadians come down t the US for all sort of treatment do to the fact they can't get coverage.
Totally ridiculous.Insurance company death panel strikes again. It is notable that insurance company death panels routinely sentence people to death each and every day.
No it is not a good idea, nor does it need to be passed at all.It is also notable that, under either the Democratic or Republican health plans in Congress, this would be a criminal act. If the Republicans get what they want, that is, no Obama Care, Liberals should still be happy that insurance company death panels would be illegal. Liberals and Conservatives can argue all they want about the rest, but don't you think this would be a decent first step?

After initially being denied coverage by her insurance company for life saving treatment, Sutton is now on drug and chemo therapies and has undergone two surgeries.

This is the mentality that will bring down US Citizens' livelihood and hand it to the insurance companies and medical suppliers in the future. Thanks, but no thanks.
Why you want more expensive health care and not more money in your pocket is beyond me. This proves the naysayers wrong about UHC. People with UHC live longer and pay less for their health care, not more. [...]
Do your homework and back UHC!
Sorry, but union workers are held to certain standards that non-union workers are not. Union work is far more efficient and of higher quality because the union demands their workers pass specific trade standards to be included. Sorry, but you would be wrong. I have no idea why conservatives side with huge corporations rather than with citizens. It seems to be getting worse as the days go by. That's not freedom folks, that's slavery to a greedy, monolithic corporation.
Oh please?!!Unions only exist through government force.
Human beings evolved over millions of years. The human life expectancy used to be around 20 a few thousand years ago. Living to the age of 68 would be rare even a few hundred years ago. It is materialistic advances that make ever-expanding life-spans (and someday perhaps even immortality) possible.
Those material advances don't just fall from the sky because you want them to, they must be created first.
????It is economically impossible for the government to give back more than it steals from the productive economy.
Productive economy? You mean like health insurance companies? What, do tell, do these companies add to the economy?
The productive economy is all human action that is voluntary, as opposed to theft and other violence (with around 99% of violence in the world being done by governments).
In a free economy (not what we have now), a health insurance company offers voluntary risk mitigation to their consumers, smoothing out a person's lifetime medical costs into a monthly payment. The customer pays more money in total (counting interest), but he is protected from egregious expenses if/when something bad happens, in accordance to the terms of his contract. It is not a charity, nor is it cost-effective for everyone to have insurance - it's a matter of individual choice.
O.I.C., you are referring to fairy tales.
Bottom line is that a former union organizer got screwed on healthcare?
