Nataline Sarkisyan, a 17 year old girl, was denied a liver transplant by Cigna under the claim that the surgery was 'experimental.'
Due to massive pressure and negative publicity, Cigna agreed to cover the surgery in the 11th hour, but it was too late for Nataline.
Because of existing laws that favor for-profit health care corporations over patient's rights, Cigna remains unaccountable for their deadly delay tactics that cost Nataline her life.

  • GOD BLESS WENDELL POTTER FOR CHANGING HIS LIFE AND QUITTING CIGNA! (a man with a Godly conscience! ) Thank you, Mr. Potter! You are a TRUE, AMERICAN hero who speaks for US! "+"

  • i doubt a person like that can feel love

  • Blockygraphics, I hope one of your loved ones is murdered like this innocent girl was. Then we'll see if your reaction has an agenda behind it.

    Better yet, I hope you die so we wont have to listen to such idiotic rubbish.

  • While I'm very tempted to remove your comment due to its horrifically insensitive nature, I'm curious to find out what "political" agenda there is in trying to stop corporations from letting people die for the sake of profit?

  • Wendell Potter is every bit the American hero that Dr. Jeffrey Wigand was/is blowing the whistle on big tobacco. When will America listen to a man like him over "men" like Glenn Beck and Rush LImbaugh?

  • DAMN RIGHT! check out my playlist on the healthcare issues.
