  2. in his First Ever Diary he posted at GOS the other day. I can look for a link if you want. Oh here it is. It was… well… lets just say there were some interesting comments. 😛

    I’ll be honest. I never paid much attention to Daily Kos until December 2007, when a 17-year-old girl was fighting for her life in a Los Angeles hospital and a medical director in a CIGNA office 2,000 miles away denied coverage for a liver transplant her doctors said she urgently needed.  When nyceve started writing about it here, all the executives at CIGNA took notice. I’ve never been the same since. Thank goodness.
