@abc7la: (5/12/25) A man fighting for his life will now be able to get a potentially life-saving double-lung #transplant after his final #appeal was approved by his #insurance company. #CIGNA originally denied Deron Wells the coverage, saying the transplant is not standard treatment for lung #cancer. But the 59-year-old has now won his appeal and could be on a plane to get the surgery in Chicago as soon as today.

Wow so it took media/social media coverage to get approved?? It shouldn’t work like that, but I’m glad he is getting treatment!

These evil people that work at insurance companies didn't win. People are tired of letting a single person determine there right to live. Living is a right not a privilege

The health insurance industry needs to go away. There is no reason we should have death panels deciding people's fate based on money. Universal healthcare now!

If social media and the news didn’t bring this to light this man would have died. This is America where you have to shame insurance companies

Crazy insurance companies get to decide who lives and dies. Even more insane that we allow this system

Insurance should not be able to deny a recommended medical procedure by an MD. Money is the root of all evil. These companies should be ashamed of themselves.

Can’t you sue for not approving it in the first place? Seeing as how it was apparently approvable the whole time and they essentially refused service?
