[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I was 13 and I had an std I wouldn't want my parents to know. Great idea now kids can get treated without their parents knowing, [/quote]

If a young teen (still a child) is having sex that results in an std or worse, their parents should know, because either the kid is engaging in terrible at risk behavior or the teen it being abused or exploited by someone.  That same kid cannot carry her own epipen or inhaler in school without written parent permission, nor can she take her own tylenol at school, yet her parents must jumo through hoops to access her medical info?

This is stupidity at its worst.[/quote] +1[/quote]

+2  As a parent, we are responsible in every way for a 13 yr old.  I have to pay for all the medical bills, but I can't see what I am paying for?  Most of the insurance statements have an itemized bill, so I would see what procedure the child had anyways, and I'm assuming the 13 yr old is not paying for their own Rx, so I don't see why we can't see our kid's medical history.  Plus, if there was a medical emergency, as a parent, I'd want to be fully informed of my kid's medical history so I could provide the best information possible to the Drs.
