Edwards Campaigns W/ Family To Fix Health Insurance

Washington (dbTechno) - Democrat John Edwards was not on the campaign trail alone on Sunday as he was accompanied by a family who states that their daughter died last year due to health insurance refusing to pay for her operation.

The parents and brother of 17-year-old Nataline Sarkisyan spoke of their story in front of an audience all out to support John Edwards.

Their daughter died of leukemia on December 20th and those in attendance were told by the family that Edwards may be the choice to fix health care in the United States of America.

The campaign event came just two days before the people of New Hampshire head to the polls for the big New Hampshire Primary.

Edwards stated “This (the cause of Sarkisyan and others) is what drives me every single day. This is what the fight is all about … I am in it with heart and soul and with every fiber of my being.”

The girl had leukemia since the age of 14, and when complications arose a transplant was recommended. Edwards stated though that “CIGNA HealthCare ruled that the treatment was experimental because of the leukemia and not covered by her policy.”

The mother of the girl stated “My heart is a hole. I didn’t know any insurance company could be so careless.”

She thanked Edwards and stated “I hope you become our president.”
