What the insurance companies and Scripps is doing to Rocky Mountain News photographer Steve Nickerson is wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. He suffers from a rare, debilitative disease but has found a treatment that is helping, but the insurance company says it is "experimental" and refuses to pay. At $35k per treatment per month I wouldn’t want to pay either… unless I were an insurance company whose job it was to deal with these sorts of things! Former colleague Mitch Albom writes a passionate and well-researched column describing Nickerson’s plight.
