FREE SPEECH ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE SUCH A GREAT IDEA...:

Couple battle to make insurers liable for coverage decisions (Lisa Girion, 10/08/09, LA Times)

Surrounded by supporters, Hilda Sarkisyan marched into Cigna Corp.’s Philadelphia headquarters on a chilly fall day, 10 months after the company refused to pay for a liver transplant for her daughter.

"You guys killed my daughter," the diminutive San Fernando Valley real estate agent declared at the lobby security desk. "I want an apology."

What she got was something quite different.

Cigna employees, looking down into the atrium lobby from a balcony above, began heckling her, she said, with one of them giving her "the finger."

Sarkisyan walked out, stunned and hurt.

"They showed me their true colors," she said. "Shame on them."

...until the folks you're Mau-mauing speak back.
