my 14 year old daughter has type 2 diabetes, hypertension, asthma
my 10 year old son has asthma
When I called around different places to try and get health insurance they would not let them on a policy due to pre-existing conditions – They are on a policy now until 18 years of age – how do I get covergage when they turn 18 for them and who would cover them. They need their medications.
