CIGNA Insurance Refuses Life Preserving Surgery

Did you hear about the greedy insurance company that refused to pay for a liver transplant? Seems CIGNA Insurance Company initially refused to cover the cost of the transplant for 17-year-old Natalee Sarkisian, saying the surgery was too experimental. A liver transplant Experimental in 2007? Despite doctors urging the insurance company to reconsider CIGNA wouldn't budge. So yesterday (Thursday 12/20/07) protesters gathered outside the company's Glendale, CA office to protest. During which the company called to tell the mother that they had changed their minds. However, the decision was to late. Her condition worsened and she was taken off life support within hours of the decision reversal.

I am glad that I don't have this insurance company. If I did, I would strongly consider dumping them. It appears that they don't really care about their customers, despite the claim that their hearts are with the family. Sounds to me their hearts are with their wallets.

Simply put they suck!
