The Real Death Panels

Thomas Jefferson: "Banking establishments are more dangerous than
standing armies."

More than one out of every five requests for medical claims for insured
patients, even when recommended by a patient's physician, are rejected by
California's largest private insurers, amounting to very real death
panels in practice daily in the nation's biggest state, according to data
released Wednesday by the California Nurses Association/National Nurses
Organizing Committee.

"The routine denial of care by private insurers is like the elephant in
the room no one in the present national healthcare debate seems to want
to talk about. Nothing in any of the major bills advancing in the Senate
or House or proposed by the administration would challenge this
practice."

Claims denial rates by leading California insurers, first six months of
2009:

* PacifiCare -- 39.6 percent
* Cigna -- 32.7 percent
* HealthNet -- 30 percent
* Kaiser Permanente -- 28.3 percent
* Blue Cross -- 27.9 percent
* Aetna -- 6.4 percent

While premiums are up for working families, insurance company profits
rose an amazing 1,084% in five years.

President Obama begins his final drive for healthcare reform tonight with
a nationally televised prime-time address to a joint session of Congress.
His speech comes after an explosive August recess consumed by raucous
town halls and talk of government-run "death panels." We take a look at
California's "real death panels." That's what the nation's largest nurses
group is calling private insurers, as new data reveals they denied one of
every five claims over the past seven years. We speak with Charles
Idelson of the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing
Committee.
