CLEVELAND — Chuck and Angie Graham have been married 33 years.They have been through a lot together in that time, but perhaps their biggest challenge yet came in January.The Diagnosis"I woke up in the morning to go to work and I lost my balance a couple times and fell down," Chuck said.Angie said she heard something and yelled up to him if he was OK."He said he was falling and couldn't walk," Angie recalled, tearing up.An ambulance ride, and several tests and scans later, the Grahams had their answer — and it was devastating."She said that I had a very aggressive tumor in my brain and it was malignant," Chuck said.Such a diagnosis can make you feel so helpless, Angie said.The DenialThey say the next blow was just as unexpected.Their health insurance provider denied covering the procedure Chuck's neurosurgeon recommended to treat his cancerous brain tumor, saying it was "experimental" and "investigational."The laser ablation procedure was FDA-cleared a decade ago, but that does not guarantee coverage.The Grahams appealed the decision. Chuck was prepped for surgery hoping for a last-minute approval that never came, and he was sent home."Just the look on his face, broke my heart," Angie said."He's a veteran. He's a dad. He's a husband, a grandpa and a friend who would do anything for you. How could they not value him?"Fighting BackChuck's family took action.His daughter Jen Koons led the charge."They've just always been there for us," Jen said.And now she wanted to be there for them.Jen turned to the power of social media.She had previously sent the letter to the company before posting it to Facebook.It began: "An open letter to SummaCare and our health insurance industry..."Jen wrote about her father's fight with brain cancer and health insurance.The letter continued: "I hope thousands of people read this letter and understand that our physicians do not get to decide what's best for us, insurance companies do."Her post was shared nearly 3,000 times. Hundreds commented. Her message resonated.Fighting Back"I would say don't give up," Jen said.She learned about the right to an external review. It is a free service all health plan issuers must provide once the internal appeals process has been exhausted.An independent organization reviewed Chuck's case and overturned the denial.Two weeks after he had been sent home from the hospital, Chuck got the surgery his doctor had recommended."I just think we would've had a whole different scenario today if he hadn't had that surgery," Angie said.The external reviewer found Chuck's procedure "medically necessary" and "beneficial" for his condition."I just want people to understand their rights and to find their voice," Jen saidChuck's tumor is shrinking, and Jen is happy how things turned out for her dad, but angry, she says, for the people who don't have someone to advocate for them."There's how many people who go home and think, 'Oh, this is just the way it is,' " she said.In her open letter she wrote, "People deserve better. People deserve to count on their health insurance. They are more than a premium payment."Chuck's provider called the procedure "experimental and investigational." It was FDA-cleared a decade ago, but that does not guarantee coverage.There are not clear guidelines as to what defines "experimental and investigational."It can create a gray area where patients seeking innovative uses for a procedure are caught up."I'd like to see legislation around experimental procedures," said Tracy H. Porter of Cleveland State University.She said she'd like to see clarification and rules put in place, like with pre-existing conditions."I would also like to see something where we're educating patients more on their rights," Porter said.That is why Chuck and his family said they wanted to share their story; they want to help others navigate the often murky waters of a diagnosis and a denial.Jen has kept meticulous track of her father's paperwork. She has two bulky binders filled with research, correspondence with doctors, the hospital, insurance and notes from outside agencies.WEWS did reach out to SummaCare for this story.They provided us with this statement:"First and foremost, at SummaCare, we want what is best for our members in all cases. In accordance with federal privacy laws, we cannot discuss the specific medical care or associated claims of any of our members."ResourcesJen said she also found helpful resources through the 4465

Democratic Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Wednesday announced he is suspending his presidential campaign.Inslee made the announcement during an interview on MSNBC.The Washingtonian made combating climate change the fundamental issue motivating his campaign, routinely telling reporters that the climate crisis affects "every issue" facing the country. With that in mind, he released a series of plans that tied the issue to everything from foreign policy to the economy to labor laws.But the governor failed to gain traction in the race to take on President Donald Trump. While the governor did recently reach the donor threshold to qualify for the third Democratic national debate, he had yet to reach the polling threshold and was therefore unlikely to qualify.Inslee was on the trail until the final days of his campaign. The governor released his sixth climate change policy proposal on Wednesday, a plan that tied combating the issue to agricultural policy.Inslee was scheduled to be in New Hampshire on Thursday for a presidential candidate forum at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics.Inslee did qualify for the first two Democratic debates, turning in performances in which he looked to steer the conversation towards combating climate change as often as possible. Inslee also publicly called for the Democratic National Committee to host a debate entirely focused on climate change, knocking the committee for rebuffing his demands."Climate change is not a singular issue, it is all the issues that we Democrats care about," he said at the second set of Democratic debates. "It is health. It is national security. It is our economy."The governor will now return to Washington state, where he is in his second term. Inslee won reelection in 2016 by nearly 10 percentage points and is eligible to run for reelection in 2020. He said during his interview on MSNBC that he will make an announcement on Thursday about his plans.While Inslee made climate change a singular focus, he was not alone in talking about the issue on the campaign trail.Democratic candidates are often asked about the climate crisis, a signal that the issue is top of mind for active Democratic voters. And a CNN poll earlier this year found that 82% of Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents find climate change a "very important" issue, ranking it at the top of the list ahead of universal health care, tighter gun laws and impeaching Trump. 2443

Face masks sold out and temperature checks at airports and train stations became the new norm as China strove Tuesday to control the outbreak of a new coronavirus that has reached four other countries and territories and threatens to spread further during the Lunar New Year travel rush.Anxiety grew both at home and abroad after Chinese government expert Zhong Nanshan confirmed fears on state television late Monday that the virus can spread from human to human.Six people have died and 291 have been infected in China, the National Health Commission said Tuesday.The stock prices of some companies that sell masks rose Tuesday, but markets fell in much of Asia as investors worried about the potential impact on tourism and the economy.Concerned about a global outbreak similar to SARS, another coronavirus that spread from China to more than a dozen countries in 2002-2003, numerous nations have adopted screening measures for travelers from China, especially those arriving from Wuhan, the central city where the virus appears to have originated.Guards at Wuhan’s airport pointed electronic thermometers at travelers. Several online retailers were sold out of masks, which were being sold for more than 10 times their original price. Users of the popular Weibo social media platform urged others to wash their hands and stay home.The first cases late last month were connected to a seafood market, and transmission was thought to be occurring from animals to humans. Authorities previously had not confirmed human-to-human transmission.In addition to 258 cases in Wuhan, more than 20 have been diagnosed in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong province in the south and Zhejiang in the east. Four cases have been confirmed overseas among Chinese travelers in South Korea, Japan and Thailand. A Taiwanese woman who just returned from Wuhan tested positive for the virus, Taiwan’s Centers for Disease Control reported Tuesday.Fifteen medical workers have also tested positive for the virus, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission said.Two cases in Guangdong were people who had not visited Wuhan but fell ill after family members returned from there. Zhong cited those as evidence the disease had spread between humans.Australia, Japan, South Korea and the U.S. were among the countries increasing airport screenings. Three weekly direct flights from Wuhan to Sydney will be met by border security and biosecurity staff for assessments, chief Australian medical officer Brendan Murphy told reporters.“Please take every possible precaution,” Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe instructed the health minister and other government departments.The coronavirus family includes those that cause the common cold, but some found in bats, camels and other animals have evolved into more severe illnesses like SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, and MERS, Middle East respiratory syndrome. Initial symptoms of the new coronavirus include fever, cough, tightness of the chest and shortness of breath.The possibility the virus can be transmitted between people increases the chances it could spread faster and more widely. The Chinese government has estimated people will make around 3 billion trips during the Lunar New Year travel season, but some social media users have said they may stay home due to concern about the virus.In his first public remarks on the illness, Chinese President Xi Jinping instructed government departments to promptly release information on the virus and deepen international cooperation.When SARS began infecting people in southern China, the Chinese government initially tried to conceal the severity of the epidemic, which ended up killing nearly 800 people. The cover-up was exposed by a high-ranking physician.Gabriel Leung, dean of medicine at the University of Hong Kong, said Chinese authorities have responded much more quickly this time.“Our underlying assumptions are the force of infection is very different now ... because so many public health measures have been undertaken and so many interventions have been executed,” Leung told reporters at a briefing.Leung, who was heavily involved in the response to SARS, said modeling shows that cases will multiply over the coming weeks but the outbreak will gradually lose momentum as precautions take effect.Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said Wuhan is controlling the flow of people entering and leaving the city.“In order to tackle the Wuhan epidemic, China has taken rigorous measures and adopted a comprehensive plan,” Geng told reporters at a regular briefing. “We will resolutely contain the spread of the epidemic.”Surgical masks were mandatory Tuesday at Beijing United Family Hospital, where all visitors had their temperatures taken at the entrance.At one pharmacy in Shanghai, a shopkeeper named Liu Zhuzhen said more than 100 people had bought masks by midday. They were already sold out despite having recently been restocked.3M, an American brand popular in China for anti-pollution masks, was sold out of masks on its official online stores on e-commerce platforms Taobao and JD.com as of Tuesday afternoon. Other retailers were selling 3M masks at a markup, including for as much as 40 yuan () a mask. Websites that track online pricing show the same masks used to sell for 3 yuan (53 cents) each.Outside the Wuhan Medical Treatment Center, where many of the coronavirus patients are receiving care, several workers were dressed in full-body biohazard suits, supplemented by goggles, masks and plastic wrapped around their shoes.While many wore masks in Wuhan, streets were far from deserted and people appeared to be carrying on with their regular activities.“I’m not that worried,” said Helen Cao, a Wuhan resident who was shopping on a downtown avenue lined with stores and full of pedestrians. Like many in the city, she began wearing a mask after hearing Zhong’s assessment of human-to-human transmission.“Maybe people from other places are more concerned about our health, but (Wuhan) locals actually are continuing to eat, go out and take strolls, go clubbing at night,” Cao said. “Everything’s very normal, everyone’s just wearing masks, nothing more.”___Yanan Wang reported from Beijing. Associated Press journalists Moussa Moussa in Sydney, Alice Fung in Hong Kong and Mari Yamaguchi in Tokyo, and researcher Yu Bing in Beijing contributed to this report. 6390
