I Should Be Entitled to Health Insurance Posted: 07-29-06 00:20am
When I was young I was misdiagnosed with
add and prescribed a daily dose of prozac
which pretty much turned me into a veggie.
Because of this I had to attend "special"
classes and missed out on a real
education. I'm very intelligent so you
might imagine how frustrated and left
behind I feel. I as well as many others
are sure what I have is asperger's
syndrome but I don't have health insurance
to see a doctor to make an official
diagnosis. If I really do have a
disability as bad as they said I did, I
should be entitled to some kind of health
insurance. You can just label someone
mentally challenged and leave it at that.
I played their game and got nothing out of
it. It ruined my life. Can anyone help
me?

Less Expensive Than Insurance, & You Can't Be Turned Dow Posted: 01-11-07 17:43pm
By now I hope you've found health
coverage. If not, check out the discount
health plan I use. It is not insurance.
They pay nothing. But, you get discounts
whenever you go to the doctor, dentist,
eye doctor, rx, hospital, etc. The
discounts are between 20% - 80% (sometimes
more). It cost less than $50/mo! I

I also was diagnosed with a.D.D. It is
horrible thing to label a child with such
labels. I was also put in special classes
and looked over by the system. I slipped
in to the cracks.
As for asburgers my cousin was
diagnosed with it. If you have been
diagnosed with these you probably qualify
for some sort of gov. Aid. I would look
in to that.

I would checkout http://needhealthben
efits.Onesimplecard.Com and look into
getting some type of medical benefits. I
use them and nothing is over $60.00 a
month and thats for an entire household.
Its even cheaper signing up as an
indivdual.
You get a huge discount on all this:
dr. Appt visits, lab work, ect..
Dental - saves you up to 80% on your
dental!!
Vision
prescription
chiropractic care
all for under $60.00 a month!!
I hope this helps

Just because you were born with a
disability doesn't mean that you are
entiled to health insurance benefits.
Unfortunately you would either have to
qualify for medicaid based on your
financial situation, get a job that offers
health insurance, or find some individual
coverage from an insurance agent.
Unfortunately, your condition may
disqualify you for insurance with some
providers. It depends on your state and
condition. You can always get a job with
benefits though.

How About This? Posted: 02-28-07 18:37pm
Another solution is to see if you can get
health coverage under a group health plan
(through your company or you family's
company) since with group insurance, it
doesn't matter what medical condition you
have (even cancer) you are guaranteed
coverage.
You can also try cobra or HIPAA plans if
your company covers it.
