Health Care Rights Initiative
HCRI is a group of patients, caregivers, physicians and attorneys who have personally suffered from the way that private and employer-provided health insurance is currently administered. We have argued with our insurance companies while lying in hospitals stricken with cancer. We have had gravely ill children improperly discharged from hospitals because the insurance company denied covered benefits. Those of us who are physicians have wasted countless hours trying to get coverage for critical medications and procedures for our patients when the few advocates and resources available to us were prohibitively expensive.
