I came across this important item on DVAFOTO, a blog written by photojournalists M. Scott Brauer and Matt Lutton and wanted to share it with everyone.

Apparently St. Petersburg (Florida, USA) Times photojournalist Stephen Coddington has been involved in a year-long struggle against the CIGNA health insurance company after his wife Marian suffered a brain aneurysm on April 1, 2008.

As DVAFOTO reports, "Steve has become his wife’s sole caregiver, the insurance company having denied crucial in-home nursing care and other necessary treatment; they (CIGNA Health Insurance Company) have decided that Marian hasn’t made sufficient progress in her recovery to justify further expenditure.

This is a travesty. Now, Steve is asking for help from his community and the larger worldwide community…"

You can read the entire post right here to learn all of the details, nevertheless,
