We need a fighter …

December 22, 2007 Written by Lisa

John Edwards … ” .the ONLY presidential candidate who is willing to fight rather than hope or triangulate” – Do you know the case of Nataline Sarkysian?

From a letter a member of DKOS wrote to the president of CIGNA, the company that refused her a liver transplant.

Nataline Sarkisyan, one of your insured clients died today. She was 17 years old and fighting for her life in a battle against leukemia. After receiving a bone marrow transplant she developed complications from the accompanying chemotherapy. Her liver and kidneys were destroyed. Her brother gave her a kidney. Your company refused to pay for a liver transplant.

Finally, yesterday, after irate citizens from across the nation called Cigna and AHIP, Cigna allowed as how perhaps the procedure could be covered. Too late. She died waiting. You and your company are despicable. Murder by spreadsheet!

John Edwards, the ONLY candidate who does NOT take any money from ANY lobbyist. As he says: “They’re going to give their power away when we take their power away.”

This video is just two minutes long – check it out.

    I have no problem with Edwards except for his vote authorizing the Iraq War. Obama, on the other hand, though just a state senator spoke at an antiwar rally in Chicago. He was one of the few politicians who put conviction ahead of triangulation. That in a nutshell is why I will vote for Obama over Edwards, although I realize no candidate is lily white.
