Published on HuffPost:

Last Friday, 28 patients filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the Infectious Diseases Society of America, eight health insurance companies, and seven medical doctors, Courthouse News reported yesterday, “because health insurers are denying coverage with bogus guidelines established by their paid consultants, who falsely say the disease can always be cured with a month of antibiotics.”

The antitrust lawsuit was already posted here:

But the HuffPo article is SPECTACULAR, authored by David Michael Conner, Lyme sufferer and activist. That's where I pulled most of the quotes i the previous thread. Support him however you can. Dr Liegner's book is also a great read on this history with insurance company collusion.

Wow this law suit is casting a really wide net.

I am not sure I agree with the strategy, but at least somebody is doing something.

If our side gets blasted out of the courtroom, it may do more harm than good.

This is a big deal.
