From The Hartford Courrant.com:
Jody Trestman spoke in a voice she hoped would carry to the offices of Gov. M. Jodi Rell.
"We are standing here today because a person's health should no longer
be trumped by a corporation's bottom line," said Trestman, whose
February diagnosis of Crohn's disease came one month after she
downgraded her family's insurance coverage to an HMO.
Why the switch? Her insurance company had raised its rate 9 percent in a single quarter.
