"He attended a private, all-boys high school in Baltimore, called the Gilman School, according to school officials. Mr Mangione was named as the valedictorian, which is usually the student with the highest academic achievements in a class.

He comes from a prominent family in the Baltimore area whose businesses include a country club and nursing homes, according to local media.

He is reportedly the cousin of Republican state lawmaker Nino Mangione."

He needs help, he doesn't need crowdsourcing to pay for it. :)

My wife... She got an infection which required a toe amputation before the the infection could turn septic, enter her bloodstream, and kill her.

First Aetna tried to claim the surgery was not medically necessary (really? Where's your medical degree?) then they tried to claim our in-network hospital wasn't covered because they used an out of network surgeon.

Sound familiar?

Paid the bill then continued to fight with Aetna for a full calendar year before they went "Oh, hey, you're right..." and refunded me.
