HEALTHCARE IS A RIGHT NOT A PRIVILEGE, or at least it should be. Disgustingly, united healthcare chose their profit margin over the life of Carrie Ann Lucas so she died on Sunday, 24 FEB 19 due to multiple medical complications as a result of their decision to deny her coverage for an antibiotic prescription last year. You may not have heard about Carrie Ann's death since the news media has been ignoring everything else to report on michael cohen's congressional testimony and (NOT MY) pres drumpf's / trump's - kim jong-un's summit failure in Hanoi. YOU can go to united united healthcare's facebook page and post a condemnation of their corporate greed that resulted in Carrie Ann's death ( I did) and take the time to e mail your representative and senators ( I did) about Carrie Ann's death and telling them you expect them to support and vote for H.R. 1384 Medicare For All Act of 2019 because HEALTHCARE IS A RIGHT NOT A PRIVILEGE. GODSPEED Carrie Ann Lucas, I am ashamed nationally we place profits before life, and God bless your family. From Democracy Now!
Noted Disability Rights Activist Dies After Being Denied Medication
And a prominent disability rights activist and attorney died this past Sunday after being refused an essential medication by her insurance company. Carrie Ann Lucas, who had a rare form of muscular dystrophy, helped pass legislation in Colorado to protect parents with disabilities from child welfare discrimination. In 2017, Lucas was arrested with several others after protesting Medicaid budget cuts with a 58-hour sit-in at Senator Cory Gardner’s office. According to a message on Lucas’s Facebook page, United Healthcare denied her coverage for an antibiotic last year, triggering a host of medical complications which led to her death. Carrie Ann Lucas was 47 years old and is survived by her four adopted children, who are also all living with disabilities.
