Actually, pp, you can and should speak to my situation because I am asking you to and I made the choice to put this information out because I specifically want people like yourself to discuss it.

So tell me, should my daughter receive treatment or not?  Should my insurance company be allowed to kick her off for a pre existing condition or not?  It’s a really simple question and I’m not interested in letting you slip out of answering it.[/quote]

NP. Did you have insurance before she got sick? If not, why not? Should you be allowed to wreck your car then force a company to pay for the repairs after the fact?[/quote]

OP.   I absolutely had  insurance, and I am grateful that my insurance paid for my daughter’s treatment.  I wonder why you thought I didn’t?   The post would have been entirely different in that case.  And also, do you actually believe that people with chronic health conditions should not be able to change or buy new insurance policies?  Should my daughter’s illness follow her for the rest of her life, taking her entire paycheck?

Although your post brings up a lot of interesting questions.  What if my insurance didn’t cover my daughter’s treatment, which is actually still in an experimental stage, but has been so successful the insurance approved it (thank God).  Her treatment has been successful.  What if the insurance refused to pay?

This is something that happens.  I know a young man who married a woman in her early 20’s.  She was diagnosed with a brain tumors that typically only affects children up to a certain age.  Because she was over 18, her insurance refused to pay for brain surgery to remove the tumor.  He raised go fund me money to pay for her.  Again, should insurance companies have the right to refuse treatment that doctors want to do?  This is essentially the type of “death panels” Republicans have always warned about, except a non elected private company deciding who will live.

Another question- what if I had no insurance, and did not qualify for children’s health insurance program (chips)(I don’t really know how qualifications for chips works))?  Should my daughter have her health ruined because I had no insurance?  Is a human child with an illness the equivalent of a wrecked car, in your opinion?  What would you do, put all the sick kids with no insurance in a junkyard?  Maybe we can just put them in a home for sickly children who are useless.  Similar to a hospital, just with no medical care.  It’s a really interesting analogy you pose.
