A different kind of rally

The family of teenager Nataline Sarkisyan of Southern CA (who died while waiting for a liver transplant) stood beside John Edwards at a campaign rally in Manchester, New Hampshire today urging voters to elect Edwards. Edwards has repeatedly talked about the Sarkisyan family's fight with Cigna Healthcare to get the insurance company to cover the transplant. Cigna initially denied coverage for the procedure, but after protests and pleas from nurses and doctors the company reversed its decision. The 17-year-old Sarkisyan died before she could get the transplant. Here is a short clip.

Join with me and many other average people like me and vote for the person who will stand up for us.
