Nataline Sarkisyan is dead because her life wasn't worth saving (according to CIGNA HealthCare **). She died at about 6 p.m. Thursday at University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center.
After about 150 teenagers and nurses protested outside their offices on Thursday, CIGNA HealthCare had the following to say.
" ... CIGNA HealthCare has decided to make an exception in this rare and unusual case and we will provide coverage should she proceed with the requested liver transplant."
Unfortunately, there was no time to save her. The initial request was delivered by letter on December 11, 10 days earlier.

** Despite the reversal, CIGNA said in an e-mail statement before she died that there was a lack of medical evidence showing the procedure would work in Nataline's case.
A message to CIGNA HealthCare and all other "Insurance" companies in America ... find another job. You are done here.
- We will elect John Edwards and we will have universal healthcare (not universal Insurance)!
- If you defeat Edwards, we will find "another" Edwards!
- If you steal the election we will have another election!
- We will fight you in court!
- We will fight you in the streets if necessary!
- God damn you for what you have done. God damn you!
Who the hell do these companies think they are playing God with people's lives?
Who the hell works at these companies and is able to sleep at night?
My family sends its' sincere condolences to the family of Nataline Sarkisyan. May she rest in peace.
And I hope the employees of these insurance companies have a very Merry Christmas as they count their annual bonuses.
