Because that doesn't happen now, right? Right? We're the United States of America! We have the best health care in the world, right?
Wrong.
The lawyer for California teen Nataline Sarkisyan charged today that the only reason Cigna Health Care officials changed their minds and approved a liver transplant for the desperate girl was they knew it was too late and they wouldn't have to pay for it.
Sarkisyan, 17, died Thursday just hours after Cigna reversed its decision and approved the procedure it had previously described as "too experimental…and unproven." Now the Sarkisyan family hopes manslaughter or murder charges will be pressed.

"All of the doctors there unanimously agreed that she needed and should have that liver transplant. And the only entity, if you will, who said no to that in the middle of that medical decision, was some piece of garbage who decided that making a couple of dollars, or saving them a couple of dollars, was worth more than the 65% chance over six months that she would survive," said Geragos.
I hope there is a special corner of Hell reserved for people who are OK with this.

Bob, are you implying that you believe that in a government-backed health care system things like liver tranplants would be more accessible? If so, please provide some statistics. How do numbers compare between say Canada, Japan, England, and the US for liver transplant approval?
Thanks so much for sharing! This is very informative! I've never had a port, I always just had a PICC Line but I do have an Ileostomy and it took me YEARS to finally get the courage to get a massage! I was so afraid they were gonna be grossed out. Turns out - they see stuff like that all the time and were super laid back about it. The massage was amazing and my bag didn't affect it at all! I tweeted this article to my followers! Hope it inspires someone to just go for it!
