Yes, I don’t know how much. I think it was something like 219/month.
I don’t know about Baltimore, but we live in Ohio and we pay $5000 a year for private High School and thats including the Catholic discount!
Her parents have a job, and she is doing consulting work and hoping to start her own business. She has insurance now through her parents. She will get her future insurance through a state insurance plan. She has contacted every private insurance provider available and has been rejected by all of them. She has worked through the State office of Insurance.
She will be fine, because there is insurance available through the state. Pre-existing conditions is one of the major limitations of our current health insurance system. I don’t think it requires universal health care to fix it, but it is a problem that should be addressed. Just because you think that it is easy for a diabetic to get health insurance doesn’t make it true.
No private school that I know of offers a zero cost defrayment for underclassmen, irrespective of any scholarship program.
I didn’t see that in the article. FYI people can be thrown from the car, when they have seat belts on. Especially if they are too loose, or if the shoulder harness is behind the back instead of across the chest. At 60mph, air bags and seatbelts are limited in their ability to protect you from injury. It is possible that they weren’t wearing seatbelts, but with 23 years of MVA response experience I see nothing in the article to indicate that is true, and I would be very, very surprised. These kids would be dead if they were not wearing a seatbelt and thrown from a car at a 60mph impact.
Bullshit.
I’ve talked to two diabetics this morning - one with Blue Cross and that other with Aetna - they had no problems... and they have never, and would never go to their neighbors asking them to pay their “fair share” of someone else’s medical bills.
Yet when a family willfully injects itself into a partisan political debate about income levels and government welfare, any available PUBLIC records regarding their income and assets are somehow off limits?
Yes, there IS a large structure at the rear of the lot. You can see it on google earth and google maps.
Not sure if there's a driveway leading to it, off of S Collington. But it looks accessible from the back, off of S Duncan Street (one street west, parallel to S Collington).
I wonder if zillow.com's market-value estimate takes a building like that into account? Where I live, in a modest neighborhood, we have some very large old carriage houses. Several of them have living space on the second floor.
Did it occur to you that it might be a different situation, maybe a different form of diabetes or different medical history? Did it occur to you that individual policies and corporate policies may be underwritten differently or might vary from state to state?
My niece is working and she will be paying for her insurance. The state is providing coverage but she will pay something like 219/month. She will have copays and she will have deductibles. She is not asking her neighbors to pay for her medical bills. She is asking to pay for coverage just like everyone else. Do you often go around calling people liars when you have no understanding of their personal situation? Please don’t post to me again. I don’t correspond with people who call me a liar.
“In Alabama, state law allows health insurance companies to turn people down for individual health insurance coverage based on the status of their health. In most cases, diabetes is considered an “uninsurable” condition”
“AHIP is the Alabama state high-risk pool. This program allows individual health insurance policies to be sold to individuals who might otherwise be considered “uninsurable” because of a chronic illness. In most states, the high risk pool is open to all residents.””

The one I went to sure did. I am sure mine wasn’t the only one in the country. How do you think inner city kids go to wealthy suburban private schools on non athletic scholarships?
I’ve never seen one at all, and I used to administer tests to those schools in Pa.
