The next time you hear some media talking head saying they don't know what the message of OWS really is, I'd say that this one member of Occupy San Francisco says it quite well:

Miran Istina, 18, joined protests after four years of being denied life-saving bone marrow transplant for leukaemia

I'm happy to call corporations people, they just happen to be deeply sociopathic ones.

Presumably, but it works the same way for every person in the family on the policy -- she has the same protections.

And I agree, health insurance companies do screw people over all the time in other ways -- they just *cannot* do so in the way the story says it happened. It's the fact that the insurance companies are so vile that I think it's important to check out the story, because if it turns out that she's a fantasist or a plant instead of the reporter mangling her story, then it provides a reason for people to go "well, people are just lying about their stories when they say they got screwed."
