Please believe me not every victim gets justice, and without a proper legal system to keep this in line there will be more people like me. You only really know when you get there.
I felt compelled to write my story, when I see this name Cigna I still shudder, but I have somehow learned to live with it for now. It has been 10 years now and I had Subscribed to Cigna Hmo for healthcare for almost 10 years. I was enrolled and treated in their No. Hollywood wholly owned clinic in California. I thought this was a wonderful Company until I got sick and needed treatment. For two years Cigna abused me, and only when I went to outside doctors and paid for it did I learn I had Lung Cancer, and I went on to prove they knew I was ill and they were simply not going to treat me and let me die. I went to the newspapers and fought them got treatment and thank God somehow I survived. It is a long story I never did get legal justice because I refused to arbitrate with these Criminals. You bet your bottom dollars these people are make no mistake Criminals, and somehow they are still making a dollar on other peoples pain. However I am sure justice will come.
Last but not least I still have the response they filed over 10 years ago,that even if they committed Fraud, or a crime they could still compell Arbitration. A sad state of affairs dont you think?
