[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this should start at 18. [b]I couldn't do any medical things in college[/b] because my parents would snoop through my medical records. I even had to go to planned parenthood for birth control. Now that kids are on their plans until 26 this is exacerbated. [/quote]

This seems like an exaggeration. You couldn't get a case of strep throat treated? You couldn't go in for a flu shot? Do't you truly just mean that you didn't want them to know that you were sexually active? [/quote]

Yes I could get strep throat treated, but they would know. Insurance mailed them a summary. I mean I couldn't get my depression treated nor could I get birth control bills. I remember my mom (a doctor) going through my blood work results to see if I had STDs.

Hell I got married at 25 and I wouldn't have wanted my parents knowing my medical info then either. [b]Kids are on their parents insurance until 26. [/b][/quote]

They are allowed to be, but they are not forced to be. If you value your privacy over the privilege of using the health insurance your parent pays for, get your own health insurance. There are plans for students and young adults that are very reasonably priced.

Most colleges offer free therapy to undergrads, at least. Mine certainly did in the 1990s and I used it because my insurance didn't cover talk therapy. Wouldn't have helped you if you needed to be medicated for your depression, but surely your mom, a physician, would have understood an imbalance in brain chemistry?[/quote]
