I am sick of the fighting between UPMC and Highmark.

We are patients who are sick with an illness or disease. Not only do we have to worry about our health, but we also have to worry about medical coverage and costs. This creates anxiety, which creates stress on our immune systems, which creates a weakening of our bodies to fight illness physically and mentally.

I am looking for medical providers who will not stress out patients: Please contact me ASAP!

Just think about the millions of dollars that UPMC and Highmark have spent advertising their bullying campaigns against each other. Think of all the patients who could have received free care with this money. Think of all the money that could have gone for cancer or other research.

Shame on both UPMC and Highmark. Your fighting disgusts me.

Compassionate care? I think not!
