What CIGNA did was unforgivable, but what about the hospital? Aren't they equally culpable? They turned away a beautiful, young, dying girl because her insurance company would not pay.
Couldn't the doctors donate their time? Doctors donate time to operate on poor third world cases all the time!
A liver transplant usually costs around $350,000.00 to do. Where were the Bill Gates, the Warren Buffets, Or Oprah? Mark Geragos could have paid and then kept fighting CIGNA. Couldn't one of the rich well funded Presidential candidates write out a check? Instead Nataline is now a martyr. That's good for the politicians and lawyers, but a tragedy for her and her family.
What about us? Come on people! This was a life worth saving and this is the age of the internet! If 500,000 people would have given a dollar Nataline would be alive today.
CIGNA can never be forgiven, but their is plenty of guilt and shame to be passed around! Collectively we let this girl die and now politicians that could have easily paid for her operation try to win campaigns using her name. It is truly disgusting!
