SF firefighters rally for retiree denied cancer treatment by Blue Shield as more come forward

I'm literally so fed up with this 🀯 situation in San Francisco! I mean, can't you just imagine being a firefighter, serving your city, and then when you get sick, no one's got your back πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ? It's like, what even is the point of having health insurance if it's not gonna cover ya when you need it most?! πŸ’Έ

And I feel so bad for Ken Jones, the retired firefighter who was denied cancer treatment because of a policy disagreement with Blue Shield πŸ€•. That's just cruel, man πŸ˜”. The city's got to do better than this. They gotta make sure their employees and retirees have fair treatment, or else it's not worth having them on the payroll πŸ’―.

I'm all for advocating for workers' rights and making sure these guys get the help they need 🀝. It's like, we should be supporting our first responders, not leaving them to fend for themselves when they're sick or injured πŸš’πŸ’ͺ. The city's gotta step up and make some changes, pronto! πŸ’₯
 
πŸ€” I gotta say, this whole situation with Ken Jones and Blue Shield is kinda messed up πŸš’πŸ˜·. I mean, firefighters putting their lives on the line to save others and then denied cancer treatment because of a policy disagreement? That's just not right πŸ’―. The fact that 65% of firefighters are gonna get some form of cancer in their lifetime is alarming πŸ€•. It's like they're being asked to put their own health at risk for the sake of doing their job 🚫.

And what's with Blue Shield's stance? They're just following the rules, but that doesn't make it right πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. If there's a breach of contract, then they should be held accountable πŸ”’. It's not like they're asking for special treatment, just fair treatment for those who have served their community 🀝.

This whole thing is highlighting the need for better healthcare coverage for city employees and retirees 🚨. We need to make sure that our workers' rights are protected and that they can get the care they need without having to fight against insurance companies πŸ’ͺ.
 
πŸ€• The situation with Ken Jones is just crazy 🀯, I mean who doesn't want to live if they're gonna retire? πŸ˜’ And its not like Blue Shield didn't know about the CMS policies before they decided to go against it πŸ™„. Its like a big mess and people are getting hurt because of it πŸ’”. The city is finally stepping in though πŸ‘, I hope they get to the bottom of this and make sure Ken gets the treatment he deserves ❀️. Firefighters are literally putting their lives on the line every day, we should be doing more to support them πŸš’πŸ’ͺ.
 
man this is getting crazy... 🀯 San Francisco firefighters are standing up for one of their own, a retired guy who got denied cancer treatment because of a policy disagreement with Blue Shield... it's like, what even is the point of having a health plan if you can't get treated? πŸ€” and now other cases are coming to light which is just, wow... 65% of firefighters are gonna contract some form of cancer in their lifetime, that's insane... πŸ’₯ the city's gotta do something about this, they need to look into the agreement with Blue Shield and see if there's been a breach of contract... it's all about advocating for workers' rights and making sure those who have served their communities get the care they deserve πŸ™
