HERE’S WHAT YOU DO:
In the subject line of ALL your posts please put:

I am with you girl!! July 1st Den Day…will add it to my blog:)
Let’s not settle for pricking our fingers 4-10 times a day, when there is a better solution for US! I bet if it were there kid, mother, sister or father they would fight back as well.
Great idea, Gina!! I got denied pretty quickly and didn’t even bother to fight it-- I just paid out of pocket. Ugh, it makes me mad just thinking about it.
I will definitely use the logo & post something!
Oh YEAH! How synchonistic! My deadline for my THIRD APPEAL is July 1st! Did you choose this date for me?
I’ve got the whole saga on the “Advice on insurance appeal please (teleconferencing in 3 days!)” on the discussion forum here…
Unfortunately, I don’t have enough time to blog regularly (being a ‘stressed out’ graduate student with two dogs, two jobs and an outrageous love of life!), but this is a great promotion to, as you say, ‘get somebody’s attention’.
Thank you Gina I have to go work on my other projects…
Brava, Gina! I have e-mail contacts all over the world, and will use your initiative and add a line or two about why this is so important. Great idea!

Well Robert, I am sorry you had bad experiences with it but i know a lot of people that have really good results from it. We have to start somewhere right?
Hi Gina, I just started my 3rd level appeal. This is the last appeal I get. If we are denied again, I have to go the lawyer route. This 3rd level is decided by an "Independent review " organization. Keystone (my Ins co) calls the CMG “experimental/investigative” Their argument is that there is not enough published peer-reviewed articles. So I am printing EVERY damn article I can find on the internet and sending to them. My husband has diabetes and is on peritoneal dialysis (at home) for kidney disease. AND he has diabetic unawareness. I am on constant alert with him. I listen for any strange mumblings or noise, is he low? I never let down my guard. I want him to have the CMG as much for his benefit as mine. I just hope it will all be worth it. Good luck in your battle, also. cindy
I am actually waiting on the first attempt, but I know they will not do it. I know there will be a fight to be had here.
U know I will do this! I have a MySpace, a Plurk, Twitter, Brightkite account too so I will change my pic to this logo. I will try to send the link too, but will actually put it on my iWeb pages too.
Well, if you don’t want it… How old is it and what do you want for it? I found it to be quite accurate and it has worked well for me. So, let someone who really likes it buy it at a lower price from you.
