Have you had your claims denied? Do you know someone who has? Contact ProPublica. The horrific stories need to be told. #DemCast #resist
We're investigating health insurance denials. If you want to share your insights, here's how:

The voters gave more votes to Allison Riggs than Jefferson Griffin. We will protect and defend these voters’ right to participate in our democracy. No one should be able to disenfranchise voters simply because they don’t like the results.

The first time we ran into a health insurance denial was for my 3 year old who had the expressive language skills of 6 month old at the time. Only treatment - intensive speech therapy. Our insurance: you’ve maxed out your sessions, no more therapy.
That was just 3 months into a new insurance year.
