Here it goes again, another insurance company playing doctor. This is the story of San Diegan Scott Eveland; student, son, star football player. Scott suffered a severe brain injury during a football game on September 14 of last year.
He's been receiving care at Palomar Medical Center. Recovery has been slow from what doctors described as a "catastrophic brain injury." He was in a coma for a month. However, he has been slowly regaining his ability to speak and move.
Recently, Blue Cross of California decided to discontinue paying for his care at Palomar. Why? He is slowly recovering and making progress. It's a pity he's not up and running around as quickly as Blue Cross wishes.
