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

Eleven people have died so far in 2019 while climbing Mount Everest, a behemoth of a mountain that towers 29, 029 feet above sea level. This is more than twice the number of people who died climbing Everest in 2018, which saw only five deaths that season.But it's not the number of deaths that some may find shocking — it's the reasons behind them. Only two of this season's Mount Everest deaths can be attributed to falls.So what's killing climbers ascending the mountain? It's primarily exhaustion and altitude sickness, and something called "the death zone."Seasoned climbers call any part of the mountain above 26,000 feet "the death zone" because there is only so long a human can survive at that elevation due to lack of oxygen. "Even when using bottled oxygen, supplemental oxygen, there's only a very few number of hours that we can actually survive up there before our bodies start to shut down," mountain guide Adrian Ballinger told CNN. And, unfortunately, the wait at the summit of Mount Everest plays a role in these deaths because the longer someone is at that altitude, the more severe they feel the effects from lack of oxygen and exhaustion. During the week beginning May 20, crowds of climbers became stuck in a queue to the summit. When this happens, climbers aren't eating, drinking or sleeping and continue to use up vital oxygen, which can lead to death.British climber Robin Haynes Fisher was one of those who had warned of the dangers of overcrowding."With a single route to the summit, delays caused by overcrowding could prove fatal so I am hopeful my decision to go for the 25th will mean fewer people. Unless of course everyone else plays the same waiting game," he wrote in a captioned Instagram post on May 19.He died after suffering from what appeared to be altitude sickness at 28,215 feet, while returning from the summit on Saturday.Altitude sickness occurs when people are at high elevations for an extended period of time. It can happen anywhere that's 8,000 feet above sea level or more. There are three types of altitude sickness. From least to most severe, they are: acute mountain sickness, high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE). The symptoms for all three types are similar (headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath), but HAPE is accompanied by a buildup of fluid in the lungs and HACE, the most severe type of altitude sickness, occurs when there's a buildup of fluid in the brain.So how can climbers avoid the same deadly fate as the 11 who died? Simply put — be careful. Acclimate as slowly as you can to increased elevations, drinks tons of water, rest and immediately start descending if you feel symptoms of altitude sickness.CNN contributed to this story. 2782

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders said Monday he was open to backing a major proposed reform to the makeup of the Supreme Court.The Vermont independent, following the lead of some progressive legal scholars, floated a plan that would effectively end lifetime, uninterrupted appointments for Supreme Court justices."What may make sense is, if not term limits, then rotating judges to the appeals court as well," Sanders said at the We the People Summit in Washington. "Letting them get out of the Supreme Court and bringing in new blood."Sanders stopped short of backing calls to add justices to the court, a strategy gaining steam with a new generation of left-wing activists, who are putting pressure on the Democratic candidates to address their concerns over the current conservative influence on the court with more ambitious plans."My worry is that the next time the Republicans are in power they will do the same thing," Sanders said of the court-packing option. "So I think that is not the ultimate solution."Progressive legal scholars and activist groups have paid increasing mind to the courts in the aftermath of 2016, when Senate Republicans blocked former President Barack Obama's Supreme Court pick, Merrick Garland, denying him even a public hearing ahead of the election. Since then, President Donald Trump has appointed two justices, both confirmed nearly along party lines after the GOP did away with the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees."It's not just about expansion, it's about depoliticizing the Supreme Court," Sen. Elizabeth Warren told 1597

Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said Wednesday that the "breaking point has arrived this week" for the US immigration system.Speaking from El Paso, Texas, the head of the US border security agency said that on Monday, CBP encountered the highest total number of migrants in years, with more than 4,000 in a single day, the vast majority of which were apprehensions of people illegally crossing the border.That number was broken again on Tuesday.McAleenan said the agency is on pace to apprehend and encounter "over 100,000" migrants this month. Ninety percent of those are expected to be for illegal border crossings."March will be the highest month since 2008," he said.In March 2019 alone, almost 40,000 children will come into CBP's custody, McAleenan said, adding that the "potential for a tragic incident" during a border crossing or in overwhelmed agency facilities is "clear and present."He said the danger increases as the weather gets hotter.In December, two Guatemalan children have died after they were detained with their fathers after crossing the border.For months, administration officials have been warning that the changing demographics -- more families, children and a majority of Central American arriving -- were causing strain on resources, but the overall numbers of people arriving at the border are now set to reach levels not seen in a decade.The last time the monthly number of border arrests was above 90,000 was in the spring of 2008. During the unaccompanied minor crisis of 2014, the highest monthly total number reached 61,357."This stark and increasing shift to more vulnerable populations, combined with the overwhelming numbers, and inadequate capacity to detain families and children at ICE and Health and Human Services, respectively, is creating a humanitarian crisis," said McAleenan.CBP is taking over 60 migrants to the hospital each day and is encountering people with severe medical conditions, according to the commissioner.For instance, in the past four days, CBP has seen infants with fevers of 105 degrees and a 2-year-old suffering from seizures in the desert. 2146
