One of the worst moments for Logan Coulter this summer, at the rock-bottom low point of his 13-year-old daughter Gianna’s long-running health crisis, came when his two different worlds of agony collided with each other.
I have a visual of the dad as about 7 ft tall wearing a coat of armor and a sword/shield!! Bravo for battling these health insurers and their terrible policies! And so glad the daughter is doing well. There is something terribly wrong with our system.
Trump is horrible, but I have no faith in the Democrats to ever do anything to change our horrible healthcare system from the current Private For Profit Healthcare System.
This needs to be shared far and wide. My 20-year-old son has PANS due to strep, mycoplasma, Lyme, and mold. We have fought for him since he was 7 years old, and have battled both United Healthcare (when he was young) and now Cigna (in the past 5 years). They both denied IVIG coverage and for a strong $495/month anti-viral my son needed. We are blessed to be able to work with Dr. Antoine, like Gianna's family. Even that is a financial struggle for us. But through Dr. Antoine's tireless efforts, he helped get IVIG covered for the past 6 months for my son. Once covered, the recent 3-month re-authorization was a challenge - probably something we will face every 3 months. I am a single working mom, and I've spent hours upon hours upon hours, day after day, on the phone with Cigna representatives at call centers overseas and in the US. Most of them can't answer our questions or make any decisions about coverage for my son's healthcare. 🙄
PANS also wreaks havoc on other body systems due to immune dysregulation and inflammation. I continue to battle Cigna over coverage for necessary tests and medications to try and get him back to baseline.
This second guessing of professionals by insurance companies is BS . These people do not have the knowledge to determine the right treatment , although their insistence that they’re capable of these decisions is a damn lie.
It’s all greedy corporation actions that has destroyed life ‘as we knew it ‘ and asks us to accept horrendous symptoms so they can increase their profits .
This is a reason for the demise of the middle class and the poor as regards health care and ultimately well being .
While these people lack compassion and any sense of responsibility for their fellow man , woman or child , people are suffering and dying without recourse.
We all need to fight this heavy handed ill will that these corporations corruption condones.
So glad they won the fight against greed! I keep saying that America needs to get insurance out of the health care business.

Courageous family… We need major changes!
I sure hope her parents were 2 of the 27 Idahoans who didn't vote for tRump.

Wow...all I can say is wow. And there certainly is a lot of work to be done.
