“Stuff like this. Where Cigna boosts their profits by refusing doctors advice and allowing a 17 year to die for the sole reason of profits.
If this doesn’t make your blood boil there is something wrong with you.”
I would like to see a bit more detail about why Cigna initially rejected the claim. Obviously, they cover transplants; I would be curious to know why they initially characterized this as experimental. They could easily have been wrong; like any big bureaucracy, they are going to make mistakes. JUST LIKE THE GOVERNMENT.
“I think the Washington Post is as out of line as you were.
It has nothing to do with the color of their skin.
It’s because they are disproportionally poor. And my guess is white trash has an equally high rate. Wouldn’t it have more instructive to compare poor peoples infant mortality rate?”
Then show me the data showing that poor whites have comparable infant mortality rates to poor blacks. For that matter, show me the data showing that poor whites have comparable murder rates to poor blacks. (You can’t show me that data, because I’ve seen the data, and it is not the case.)
