Deron Wells is a 48-year-old husband, father, and one of the most kind-hearted people you’ll ever meet. After a long battle with lung cancer, his doctors at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles and Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago have unanimously approved him for a double lung transplant — his only chance to survive.

But now, in his most critical moment, Cigna is standing in the way.

Despite full medical approval from multiple top-tier institutions, Cigna has denied coverage for both the transplant and the life-saving medical transport to Chicago. Deron’s life is hanging in the balance — and an insurance company, not a doctor, is deciding whether he gets to live.

This is inhumane and unacceptable.

We are calling on Cigna to IMMEDIATELY:

 • Reverse the transplant denial

 • Authorize emergency air medical transport

 • Allow Deron to receive the care he has been approved for

This is not just about one man — it’s about stopping a system where corporations override doctors and put profits before people. Deron has a chance to live. We are demanding that Cigna let him.

SIGN and SHARE this petition. Together, we will hold Cigna accountable and help save Deron’s life.
