Protest for Nick Colombo is Victorious. Insurance will Pay!
Protest Interview
The protest at Pacificare was successful even before the rally started. Pacificare called my cousin the night before and said they would pay for all medical costs for any future treatments, including the large bill for the next cyberknife treatment in Kansas. My cousin Ricky still held the rally yesterday because there was going to be press there. And there was! Ricky said about forty people still showed up and every news station in the Southern California area was there to report what the Vice President, Tyler Mason, had to say.
With all of the press, emails, phone calls, and letters asking Pacificare to pay for the next sugery, the California Nursing Association stepped in the fight against the insurance company and told them that Nick needs this procedure ASAP. The CSN said a patient should not have to hold fundraisers and bake sales to pay for surgeries. CSN Article
Thank You to all that have helped make this possible. This has been a long struggle for my family, and when the insurance company suddenly says the surgery is not needed, it puts a lot of stress and pain on everyone. After four years, this cancer has drawn a lot of people to help out wherever needed.
If there is a will, there is a way, and we have a lot of willing people that are paving the way to recovery.
