Get profit out of medical care! It should not be a "for profit" industry!
Very brave. She is a warrior. If it were penis reconfiguration, then they would pay for it. Women's health matters.
This is terrible. It's unfair. Options need to be available for women and everyone. Why do lobbists get to choose what happens in our healthcare .
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'll tell you exactly how it happened. I'm a retired surgical scrub nurse and the insurance companies are interested in making money they are not interested in making people's lives better it's all about the money the money the money!!!!!!!!
YES!!!! My thoughts exactly!!!! It’s a maddening situation!
And, the price gouging in the U.S. healthcare(?) system continues!
I hope those decision makers know that guys get breast cancer also.
I wish for better healthcare and treatment for people in the United States….everyone deserves what we have in the EU….
What is the point of even having insurance(any kind-health, home, car, etc.), if it's not helpful/there to use when you need it? And, the second you file a claim, even for the most insignificant thing, besides fighting you on payment, they raise your rates as a punishment for daring to need it.
At the end of the day it’s always about making a profit for these insurance companies at the expense of a patient. That’s not fair healthcare😮
Keep following on this issue, if nobody keep them accountable
the insurance companies will start not paying for these necessary surgeries for the survivors.
Very brave of her to fight for hers and other women’s right to affordable covers.
So the 'replace implants every 10 years' is that for silicone implants? I've had my saline for 20 years with no issues. Either way, insurance should take care of their customers. Especially when it comes to cancer aftermath.
I wonder what the two cold hearted commentators would feel if it was for someone they cared about. Very inappropriate response!
Insurance companies disregard concern of individuals medical health needs. Only view people as income to acquire more profit for their own bonuses & business. Greedily, compulsively accumulating by cutting coverages. We people deserve higher standards of an oversight committee that does not bend a knee allowing mistreatment to continue .
BCBS operates just like a bank .. it was my worst work experience period .. I said happy days ahead when they lay us off last year .. for profit most insurance complies are and blue cross have more moneys than regional banks .
❤ So glad she fought back to get what she needed!
Thank you for being a pioneer for this cause! ❤
This young woman is so courageous and amazing.
They only paused it because they got outed 🤬. Universal health care. Put these vultures out of business. Their employees can go to work for the universal system.
it's discrimination against women
Insurance companies ALWAYS tell the truth 😆
She's awesome
It's a slightly bias reporting Medicare & Medicaid are taxpayer funded programs BCBS offer various coverage through M/M coverage. They didn't ppl to get on Medicaid or Medicare just so they have this procedure. And Diep Flap surgery is two surgeries in at once with more possible complications. It's a high risk surgery.
Insurance is paying for men to have breast implants just for bought 'on demand' letters from online doctors, so it can surely pay for reconstructive surgery for every woman who needs it after cancer.
I am so happy that Blue Cross Blue Shield covered my DIEP flap. There would be no way that I could afford to pay the close to $300k bill. This procedure is not just for esthetics, this is necessary to avoid breast cancer. How can insurance companies and the government put profit ahead of patients’ health. They should leave the medical decisions to the surgeons and patients.
Great research report
God bless you
We need to get rid of insurance for a single payer. M4all.
I’m wanting to have this done as well but I’m 58 and on Medicaid and Medicare so I’m not sure if it will cover the surgery or not. Especially since it’s been 15 years since I had my mastectomy
A brave lady
Where is that
My doctors top choice for cancer treatment is igrotum, and Im seeing incredible results.
Greedy Liars!
Shame on Cigna!!!
She thinks insurance companies care??? 😆🤣😂😹
If this were men….
That's not an easy surgery. I didnt want anyone touching my stomach. Yes natural breast but it weakens yoyr stomach muscles.
