I am writing to you because I am tired of insurance companies and other for-profit entities standing between me and my healthcare provider. ProPublica just published (March 25th, 2023) an article describing how Cigna is auto-denying claims, as many as 300,000 in a 2 month period. Most of us give up and just pay the bill, which is Cigna hopes for. Here is a link to the article https://www.propublica.org/article/cigna-pxdx-medical-health-insurance-rejection-claims.
Representative Jayapal will be reintroducing her Single Payer Universal Healthcare bill in mid May. It will cover medically needed treatments for all of us cradle to grave, prescriptions, hospitals, doctors at far lower costs than we pay now.
This is a basic part of our country’s infrastructure and I want you to sign on to it and make it a reality for all of us.
