Statement from Michael Moore on the Death of Nataline Sarkisyan

"Today I call upon the Los Angeles district attorney to investigate and consider bringing criminal homicide charges against CIGNA Health Care for their role in the death of Nataline Sarkisyan. If their decision was one of incompetence, then manslaughter charges should be filed. If it was a premeditated decision -- where CIGNA knew in advance that Nataline would most likely die -- then their corporate officers should be arrested and the full extent of the law brought to bear upon them.

"This is one more example of why we not only need universal health care for all our citizens, but also to eliminate the concept of private, profit-driven 'health care.' Nearly every candidate running for president has a plan that leaves companies like CIGNA in charge. This must not happen and I call upon the democratic frontrunners to show some spine and say so."
