My husband and I started a company over the summer. The plan I can get through my school is terrible and ridiculously expensive. We applied for a more reasonable individual policy. We (husband, me, 4 (now 5) year old boy and 2 year old girl) applied for an individual policy.<BR/><BR/>My daughter, who has never been on so much as an antibiotic, was denied coverage for having 4 ear infections in a 12 month period. I was denied for having an episode of colitis 8 years ago. I work in international health and we've worked and lived for months in places with no electricity or running water without so much as a stomach bug. But we can't get insurance. <BR/><BR/>We're in the middle of a lengthy fight with our latest attempt (with BCBS) which is probably the most likely. It's already taken so long with paperwork and more paperwork that we're going to have to resubmit everything again because the initial application expires over 30 days. It is a nightmare.<BR/><BR/>We're on COBRA right now and have used all our savings to pay it ($1400/month) just because we are terrified of something happening with it. <BR/><BR/>Just because you have COBRA does not mean you are not immune from being denied due to pre-existing conditions.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I've talked about it online in the same sort of hushed tones you imply (though not at all as eloquently) ... when I read your plight my heart just went out to you on many levels... <BR/><BR/>You've probably gone down this lane before, but an attorney (maybe through your school's legal services) could help you petition the state for Medicaid due to your daughter's medical needs. Sometimes these can be argued on behalf of minors, even if they are not the exact match. <BR/><BR/>Sending supportive thoughts from NOLA...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33281653.post-27356896764475889072008-12-04T19:50:00.000-06:002008-12-04T19:50:00.000-06:00Oh Kyla.

As I was reading this I kept saying to myself (excuse me) fut, say it isnt' true, fut, say it isn't true. I thought you had cancer. That's what I was thinking. And it does suck so much but is it wrong of me to be relieved that you do not have cancer?<BR/><BR/>I believe, BELIEVE you will change things.
