Does anybody know of somebody who's had issues with Cigna?

A friend of mine has some horror stories about dealing with Cigna, and has decided to do something about it.

I started drafting a petition and I will be sending it around the
internet. I want to start a grass roots movement demanding the government to step in and put a stop to these criminal and negligence actions of the Cigna and other insurance companies."

He realizes that he might be "tilting at windmills" but he's willing to do something about it. Anybody else out there with bad experiences they'd like to share?

There's a class action suit by physicians due to them playing games to underpay. The deadline for us to get the paperwork in to receive money under the settlement was just last week.

I know there have been a few in last few years. Where can I find more info on this one?

CIGNA Healthcare Announces Settlement of Physician Class-Action Lawsuits

Agreement Underscores CIGNA HealthCare's Commitment to Streamlining Business
Practices and Improving Day-to-Day Working Relationship With Physicians

BLOOMFIELD, Conn., Sept. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CIGNA HealthCare
announced today that it has reached a settlement with some 700,000 physicians
nationwide involved in class-action lawsuits filed in state and federal
courts. As part of the agreement, CIGNA HealthCare will institute new
business practices that will strengthen the working relationship between
physicians and the company.
"This is a very positive outcome for all concerned," said W. Allen
Schaffer, M.D., chief medical officer, CIGNA HealthCare. "It underscores our
ongoing effort to make it easier for doctors to work closely with us toward a
common goal - protecting the health and well-being of some 12 million CIGNA
HealthCare medical members who depend on us to deliver access to quality
health care programs and services."
"CIGNA is to be commended for agreeing to change its business practices
and improve its relationships with practicing physicians and their patients,"
said Donald J. Palmisano, MD, JD, president of the American Medical
Association. "We are hopeful other health insurers will follow CIGNA's
example and work cooperatively with physicians on behalf of patients."
If approved by the court, the settlement would resolve for CIGNA
HealthCare and the plaintiffs the issues reflected in Shane v. Humana - a
national class action lawsuit relating to the claims payment practices of
certain companies that provide managed health care services. That case is
pending in federal court in the Southern District of Florida (Miami). The
settlement announced today also encompasses and brings to final resolution all
physician claims in a similar case - Kaiser v. CIGNA - originally filed in
Illinois state court and subsequently transferred to the federal court in
Miami.

But, finding another job in North Eastern Pennsylvania isn't easy.

hell, I'm on their shit list. My work was to good to fire me, so for the last 5 yrs they denied me raises, saying I didn't have a family, scheduled me to work all nights, weekends & holidays because I didn't have a family. It was because I didn't have a dick. Then I had to tell the MD's what they could & couldn't write for. These people are so evil!!!!!! It started when reagan was in, shit I lost my house & everything. Then they refused me my sick time to see a shrink. On top of this they killed my Dad, my husband, just killed by next door neighbor, sent him home to die but never told his wife, almost killed by Mom. I get ill just driving near a building with cigna on it. Hard to sue these bastards since they've retained every law firm in the state. But I'll sign anything against these suckers you want me to
