CIGNAs Edward Hanway spends his holidays in a $13 million beach house in New Jersey. Meanwhile, regular Americans are routinely denied coverage for the care they need when they need it most.

Welcome to the American health insurance industry. Instead of helping policyholders attain the health security they need for their families, big insurance companies get rich by denying coverage to patients. Now theyre sending lobbyists to Washington, DC to twist the arms of lawmakers to oppose reform of the status quo. Why? Because the status quo pays.

    • Why are we letting people like these influence our legislators? REALLY!

      WHY ARE WE NOT IN WASHINGTON CAMPED AT THEIR DOORS REFUSING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE?

      Without a single-payer option, Insurers will STILL control the outcome!

    • Corporations should not be able to make a profit off of someone's sickness. As long as this is allowed to continue, then there is no incentive to get a person well. You can't make as much money off of a well person. When it comes to health/illness, there should be a single payer system. Capitalism should not be used in regards to healthcare. If the Republicans want to continue this non-humanitarian practice, then they can be penalized for all their corporate and military pollution and nuke waste that is making us sick in the first place.

    • His conscious is dead.

      He has his reward now. His barn is overflowing.

      In the next age, what will he have? Immortality?

      If he wants mercy for his dead conscious, he should start being merciful now.

    • This is heartbreaking and completely unacceptable in one of the greatest and most powerful countries in the world. Support Obama's health care plan now
