Cigna won't allow my friend to go into hospital with swine flu.
Advertisements [?]

This is her 30th day, every imaginable drug, including a steroid prescrip has been given. She's had a 102 temp since the beginning and is dehydrated. She went again to the doctor. He says she doesn't meet the criteria (according to Cigna) to be admitted. I'm shocked. She's very upset, aged 48, single, no one to help her and I can't stay with her, if I get it I'm up the creek. We discussed trying the back door of the emergency room but don't know how that will play out as she is in the middle of foreclosure, etc.

Any suggestions I can pass on to her? This is a person who has never missed a premium payment on her insurance... This is making me ill.
Life is short, live like it's your last day....
