[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]

No they aren't. They have the OPTION to be- which is great. But if you are still on your parent's insurance at 25 you have very bad luck and or a very low paying job that you still are priced out of the (hopefully getting better) personal insurance marketplace. "Kids" are not in their early 20s. I know its shocking to think this in DCUM land but at 25, its well into adulthood and many are even getting married and starting to think about having kids.

If you are on the parents plans in your 20s, well that's on you to stop being dependent on them, and set boundaries that are healthy. This scenario is totally different from a 13 year old.

That said, I think the procedures for streamlining minor consent for parents to access records via HIPPA is a great idea- blanket waiver that you can take to any provider for example.[/quote]
