Questions about healthcare: PLEASE DO NOT ZOT ME!
Today | Me

Posted on 09/21/2009 8:14:45 AM PDT by 68gunswillneverdie

Hello: Please do not ZOT me. I am a member here for 5+ years. I did this because I had a question that involves my family and know that the freepers are great at advsing/giving asnswers. Yes I joined today and I did this because I don't want my family's business running around the net:

1) I have two sons that were sick. One had cancer and went through chemo. He was covered by my insurance as long as he stayed in college. He fumbled and is not in school at the momnet. When this happened my insurance did not cover him anymore. He cannot get insurance now because NO company wants to do it becuase of the pre-existing clause. Is there any insurance company or way that you guys know of that he can get insurance. He's free of the cancer now but the insurance problem is so bad now that he is making plans to move to Seattle, WA so that he can get on their community insurance program.

2) I have another son that has diabetes. My insurance still covers him. But once he hits 22-23, he will also be dropped by the insurance company. What can he do?

Guys dont ZOT me ok. Or at least give me some time to get some replies or FreepMail me. This is a post of desperation. Yes this is a vanity. But we have been looking for months now and the boys keep asking "Why is Obmama's plan so bad?" I would appreciate some postive replies or suggestions. Hey Jim, you run a great site. I love it and it IS the best. I voted Bush,Dole,W,MCain OK guys? GOD BLESS THE USA AND YOU ALL.

Washington State Basic Health has a 9 month exclusion for pre-existing conditions (with no continuous coverage). Also, there is a long waiting list for the program with the state’s budget problems (and they aren’t improving).

The diabetes son, will probably be covered by employer insurance. He simply has to find a job.

The cancer son, is a prime example of why we do need to reform insurance, but not the way Obama wants to do it.

Read this article about insuring preexisting conditions.
Insuring Preexisting conditions

The problem with Obama's plan is that he wants to make the government responsible for the insurance and when governement is involved a lot of bad things happen.

I believe he the poster is trying to say that he/she is a 5 year member who created this account today to avoid people knowing his/her business.

A true FReeper would know that we all help each other when there is a real problem and we do not hide our FR identity from our FRiends.

I don’t have a job right now.

Should the government be required to give me a job?

They give me unemployement checks. (They just print them I guess.)

My mortgage is kind of high.

I think Someone else should pay for it!

I don’t want to pay for gas either . (I am really tired of that.)

In fact I am tired of paying for food also you should buy my food!

Point is life cannot be completely fair.

People with your attitude are willing to lead everyone else off the cliff because of your own selfishness.

Maybe your sons should work and save money while they can
and than government.(Buck it up!)

Maybe an employer can afford to hire me if the Government would take their boot off of their back.

As long as you maintain continuous coverage between insurers THERE IS NO PRE-EXISTING CONDITION CLAUSE!

I'm not so sure this is true. We currently have BCBS. I was thinking of applying for a p/t job that would provide me with benefits. When I called BC to ask about "continuous coverage," they said no, that I would have to re-apply all over again and take the risk of not being accepted due to pre-existing conditions.

Pretty obvious we have a Liberal troll on here who thought he had a case study that would change minds about Obamacare.

If he really has been around here for five years, he should have known FReepers would see through his charade and obliterate his agenda within minutes.

Don’t you guys dare ZOT me but I have a question pertaining to this post.

If you get an employer based health care plan can they still deny you because of pre existing or say they won’t treat anything pertaining to pre existing?

I always wondered but will never have to deal with it because I am covered though Trickery and will be for life.

09-09-2009 is not 5+ YEARS..
Could it be that you are LIEING?...

The American Constitution does not insure that you will be insured...
I suggest praying... there are things WORSE than death..

True enough.

Diabetes is not a particularly expensive disease to treat if you don’t act like an idiot with your diet. I get a generic drug at Walmart for $4.00 a month. His might be more but ot’s nothing to ring your hands about. As far as the cancer that’s what medicaid is all about. It does not sound as though you are them have done a lot of research.

2 - CLUE** Mouse over someones screen name and their sign-up date shows up. Yours shows you signed up today.

I don't think this guy is a troll. I think he is probably a well-known freeper that signed up with a new screen name just to ask this question.

We have United Health Care. And there has been no issue, no riders.

I have never had it come up.

I know when I had to have my spinal surgery my helthcare provider had an independent company contact me to see if the disk herniation was caused by an accident or something so they could off set their costs with another insurance. But it was not the case so they paid for the whole bill.
