I'm furious about this! I've looked all over the web and besides calling the insurance company in protest, I don't what I could do to make sure nothing like this happens in our country again. This girl survived two bouts of cancer and got a bone marrow transplant from her brother. There were complications and her liver failed. Her doctors said she needed a transplant and CIGNA would not approve it and she died.

Is there something that can be done to prevent this is the future? Would writing letters to congress or a petition make something happen?

Could Thomas Paine arguments in the first part about the Origin and Design of Government apply to todays American government just as well? If we were to substitute the word President for King and Congress for Parliament the result is startling.

My husband is most likely going to be discharged out of the Army because of injuries he got in Iraq. Anyway, say for instance he is given a 40% disability rating. Is he given 40% of his base pay, his entire pay, or is there a certain number for everyone with a 40% disability rating as far as compensation goes? What else goes along with a disability rating?

Will having a disability rating affect his career in the future? For the better or for the worse?

California teen dies after insurer reverses transplant decision

The Associated Press
GLENDALE, Calif. - A 17-year old died just hours after her health insurance company reversed its decision not to pay for a liver transplant that doctors said the girl needed. Nataline Sarkisyan died Thursday night at about 6 p.m. at University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center. She had been in a vegetative state for weeks, said her mother, Hilda. "She passed away, and the insurance (company) is responsible for this," she said.

Nataline had been battling leukemia and received a bone marrow transplant from her brother. She developed a complication, however, that caused her liver to fail. Doctors at UCLA determined she needed a transplant and sent a letter to CIGNA Healthcare on Dec. 11. The Philadelphia-based health insurance company denied payment for the transplant.

Say you get pulled over for a traffic violation. You call the cop an a**hole for giving you a ticket. Can they arrest you or ticket you?

In that case, the founding fathers used their Christian values to establish a country in which;

One human being could own another human being

Where only white, male, property owners could vote or hold office.

Where women had little if any rights.

If the "Christian values" of the founding fathers were truly American values, it's unlikely we would have had a Civil War, a Women's Suffrage movement, or a Civil Rights movement.

The founding fathers established a country that suppressed the masses. Do we really want to see a return of these "Christian values?"

I just got an email from Yahoo! Answers that read:

"Hey, Fatman, don't hit that snooze button too many times.

Your question may expire in 48 hours."

Do you think I can sue because Yahoo! called me fat?

I say if you have committed a bad crime you should become pretty much a free labor slave to society. Why do we pay all this money to house criminals when they are owing us?
