My brother-in-law worked in NYC before and after 9/11 and now is very sick
On 9/11 my family was at my cousin's funeral in Nutley, NJ. My brother-in-law was there when the events took place across the river in NYC. Ike returned a few days later for about a few years to his job, working on NYC elevators. Three years ago, he came down with B.O.O.P. bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia. Since then he has developed diabetes, Wegener's Disease and nasty side effects from the kinds meds he's taking. My sister is a nurse working in a hospital, and her insurance won't cover some things he needs. He is in a lot of pain and will probably never work again. He is 50 and feels like a hundred. How can insurance deny a patient meds for PAIN? He is not even being compensated for the damage that was done to him. He was a healthy vital human being. help us help him. Thank you
