Parents whose children have chronic diseases and handicapping injuries report how their children can access health care without rejection by insurance companies because of previously diagnosed conditions. This is thanks to the Affordable Care Act that was signed into law a year ago.
This act allows young adult children with chronic conditions to stay on their parents’ insurance until age 26 as the children work to get employment. Parents are no longer in fear about the loss of their children’s health insurance or annual or lifetime caps on their insurance for their children born with birth defects or suffering from the aftermath of prematurity.
Parents and Doctors alike appreciate the legislation and hope that more help is to come. Both express how important health care is for children and want to see more health care reform and are voicing their opinions to legislators to keep the ball rolling.
