I am not a "dog." That's what health insurance executives called me because I have a disease. I'm also not a "trainwreck," another term they used for members like me. l

It reminds me of the movie classic,THE ELEPHANT MAN,mistreated and abused for being different and kept in a dark isolated place.

What miserable types in that insurance company & they are called"GUARDIAN" that's a JOKE in itself.They certainly couldn't identify with a GUARDIAN ANGEL.That's for sure!!! What a great fighting spirit Mr.Pearl has.

Absolutely disgusting that they have absolutely no compassion for this person... sadly this shows the hearts of most people.. always inward looking, and never outwardly looking to care for those.. never being able to jump into the less fortunate people's world.. This is actually a loss for them
