Adem\u00e1s de trabajar en la legislaci\u00f3n que ayudar\u00eda a reducir los costos y crear un sistema de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica simple y sin fisuras, su equipo tambi\u00e9n trabaja constantemente para ayudar a resolver los problemas de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica de sus electores, especialmente las batallas con las compa\u00f1\u00edas de seguros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entonces, cuando Jenifer se comunic\u00f3 con la oficina de Jeff por una costosa factura de hospital que su seguro no cubrir\u00eda, su equipo se puso a trabajar. El invierno pasado, la hija de Jenifer tuvo una emergencia m\u00e9dica y tuvo que ser llevada de urgencia a una sala de emergencias. Jenifer pregunt\u00f3 si la ambulancia pod\u00eda llevar a su hija a un hospital de la red, pero en ese momento, la regi\u00f3n estaba cubierta de hielo debido a una tormenta de hielo sin precedentes, por lo que los t\u00e9cnicos de emergencias m\u00e9dicas tuvieron que llevarla al hospital m\u00e1s cercano que pudieran. El hospital estaba fuera de la red de seguros de su hija, por lo que Jenifer tuvo que cargar con toda la factura del hospital: la friolera de $9,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Con cobertura de seguro, la factura del hospital ser\u00eda de alrededor de $1,000, todav\u00eda muy costosa, pero una gran mejora. \u201cSoy una madre soltera, por lo que esta diferencia en el costo me ayudar\u00eda inmensamente\u201d, escribi\u00f3 Jenifer a la oficina de Jeff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El equipo de Jeff persigui\u00f3 implacablemente a las personas adecuadas en la compa\u00f1\u00eda de seguros de Jenifer. Durante dos meses, el equipo prob\u00f3 todas las v\u00edas posibles, incluso contactando al vicepresidente senior de la compa\u00f1\u00eda de seguros de salud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El arduo trabajo del equipo Merkley vali\u00f3 la pena y lograron que la compa\u00f1\u00eda de seguros revisara la apelaci\u00f3n de Jenifer. Como resultado, la factura de Jenifer se redujo de $9500 a $1200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGracias por ayudarme con mi apelaci\u00f3n ante la compa\u00f1\u00eda de seguros de mi hija\u201d, dijo Jenifer. \u201cRealmente aprecio el trabajo que hiciste en mi nombre\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeff sabe que la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica es un derecho, no un privilegio. Ayudar a personas como Jenifer motiva a Jeff y su equipo a seguir trabajando para reformar el sistema de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, de modo que todos los estadounidenses dispongan de cobertura y atenci\u00f3n asequibles y de calidad.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff knows that America\u2019s health care system is complex and often outrageously expensive.
