    I didn't realize until after it was posted that I posted the same article a couple hours after you. Still it is so important that this get out. (This is one glaring reason why nurses SHOULD be involved in the political process.) I'd like to know how the members of these insurance companies sleep at night. How can they be so blatantly cruel to another human being? Ridiculous that our court system is allowing this type of injustice to carry on.
