Hilary Swank has filed a lawsuit against the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan for allegedly denying her coverage for the treatment of ovarian cysts.
In court documents obtained by Fox News, Swank slams the plan's board of trustees for its "shockingly antiquated" questioning on "whether the sole purpose of a woman, and specifically her ovaries, is to procreate." Swank alleged in court docs that the board "determined there could be no possible reason" to treat her ovarian cysts and endometriosis "other than for the purpose of trying to conceive." The lawsuit details that Swank has suffered from recurring malignant ovarian cysts for 11 years.
