It's easy to forget how disgusting it is that for-profit companies can choose whether our children live or die, have lives of ease or lives of great difficulty.
Well, young Sarah is still struggling in her battle against United HealthCare to receive the necessary therapy to be able to eat normally. Imagine not being able to eat any solid foods, that's this child's life. And United HealthCare feels that it has no responsibility to help change that sad situation.
Watch the video below the fold, and then write, email, protest, call, or pray for sanity at United HealthCare.
Every child being denied care by the evil big-profit insurance companies deserves our support -- a child should not be held responsible for the corrupt, immoral, unethical and cruel for-profit medical system that they are forced to accept by virtue of being born in America.
Oh, and by the way, United HealthCare approved exactly the same treatment in 2008 for another child after a sustained grassroots campaign.
The fact that United HealthCare is denying Sarah this treatment is simple: they're waiting to see how hard the forces of good will push back against the forces of evil.
