14. If this woman dies
Thu Dec 12, 2024, 11:22 AM
Dec 2024

We can trace the death back to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City. We can then follow the chain of blame from the nurse who reviewed the claim to the doctor hired to rubber stamp those decisions. Then to division supervisors and department heads to the top of food chain President and Chief Executive Officer of Blue KC, for authorizing this policy. Her name is easily obtainable. She needs to be held to account.

I think these CEOs hide behind their deadly organizations. Trying to pretend they don't murder people for a living. They hope we will blame the $30,000 a year Blue KC nurse or the $160,000 a year Blue KC doctor. But really at the top are the people who really pull the levers of death. The $24 million a year CEO is really the one who would be responsible for the girls death. She makes $24 million a year and can't spare $8,000 to keep a person alive.
