Giant health insurer Pacificare has buckled under the pressure of a public campaign that included efforts by the California Nurses Association. It's now reversing a decision to deny coverage to a 17-year-old cancer patient, Nick Colombo. Pacificare is owned by United Health, and the CNA says last year it was fined $3.5 million for improperly denying coverage in 133,000 cases.
