Change.org: Firefighter denied insurance coverage - Shame on CopperPoint Insurance

Gilbert is an Arizona firefighter who has been battling chronic myeloid leukemia for eight years. In Arizona, leukemia is considered a presumptive work-related cancer, but CopperPoint Insurance has denied his workers’ compensation claims. The insurance company claimed Gilbert’s "chronic" leukemia is different from leukemia, and denied coverage. Gilbert’s fellow firefighters started their petition demanding that CopperPoint Insurance reverse their decision. You can join them by signing the petition now.  Shame on CopperPoint Insurance - Justice For Gilbert! 634 have signed United Goodyear Firefighters Local #4005’s petition. Let’s get to 1,000!

Our brother Gilbert Aguirre of United Goodyear Firefighters L4005 has been battling cancer (as well as CooperPoint Insurance) since being diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia 8 years ago. Leukemia is considered a presumptive work-related cancer and has been stated so in Arizona law for years, but CopperPoint Insurance has denied his claims because they state "chronic" leukemia is different than leukemia. Insurance companies should NOT be able to parse words of legislation to deny coverage in order to protect their bottom line! Gilbert and his family have been battling CopperPoint Insurance in court. It’s one thing to have to battle cancer you received while serving the public, it’s yet another to have to fight for healthcare at the same time. Please add your name if you believe CopperPoint Insurance is in the wrong!
