    Can you believe it? My insurance company, @healthnet, did it again!!! Two weeks after denying me a ventilator because it was "experimental," they denied me access to the brand new FDA-approved ALS drug. So I paid them a visit. It was totally mind-blowing.https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/961394908031430656 …

        Across America, millions of sick and dying people & our families spend our precious precious time navigating infuriating insurance bureaucracies that are set up to deny us care and enrich the CEOs. I believe we can do better. I believe its time for #MedicareForAll. Do you?

        I am sorry this is happening to you... Having ALS should be the only difficulty you are dealing with - and I wish you didn't have to experience it at all. I hope you will get everything you need. Keep up the good fight.

        I'm so sorry, My grandmother an LPN used to tell me about how the medical profession used to be before money and insurance companies took over. When people mattered, not money.

        Ady, I'm not American, but I thank you for being the face and voice of all who are unwell and face the callous indifference of $$$ chasing health care providers and insurance companies. My best wishes to you.

        This brave man. Everyone denied coverage by their health insurance companies should publicly expose them. Name names.
