Sad story when you are scheduled and approved for chemotherapy as that is traumatic enough to go through, but then to be told one week prior that is is "not covered". It took a lawyer and second mortgage on the house to begin care? The article does make a good point in the fact that it does take an '"entertainer" to hopefully get the right attention to any matter today as it just seems to be the way our society reacts with media.

My wife was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Her doctor recommended a stem cell transplant. We both work and are fully insured and the HMO listed the procedure as covered.
One week before the start of the treatment the HMO "experts in hematology" denied the treatment. We filed appeals and had to take out a second mortgage to hire a lawyer. Remember now, the clock is ticking, and not in our favor.
What was the result? The HMO approved the treatment; the insurance experts were not even doctors. Is this story a rare occurrence? Sadly not; happens all the time. This is only one of many horror stories.
Batson is correct that Moore is an entertainer. Our society anymore requires this to make even the simplest of points. The righties cite facts from Hannity and Colmes or Bill O'Reilly. The lefties use Jon Stewart and Keith Olbermann.
