Americans United Ad Attacks Insurance Company In Transplant Case, And For CEO Pay

Americans United For Change has a new ad on Washington cable TV, essentially aimed at the media and pundit class, as well as testing it for wider distribution, attacking an insurance company for denying a liver transplant to a 17-year old girl, who died just a few hours after they finally approved it -- and for paying big money to executives:

"This year Cigna CEO Ed Hanway will retire with a $73 million golden parachute," the announcer says. "Seventy three million dollars. That's 292 liver transplants. Nataline only needed one. If insurance companies win, we lose."
