About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

 The book of rules stated for insurance companies reads as  follows:Not covered
Any long-term treatment for chronic conditions or illnesses. Mental health rehabilitation,mental illness,emotional disorders,substance abuse treatment services,maintenance therapies or programs,counseling,education,and other codependency services,pt,chiropractic care,occupational speech,cognitive,long-term and cardiac rehabilitative.
The role of the Insurance Company is to enroll people,collect the premiums,pay for medical durable equipment,and pay for those who are going to recuperate and go on their way.
Unfortunately there are those who pay the premiums and are turned away, even though the need for medical care is greatly needed.

Reform talks about helping those who are uninsured and those with existing conditions and doesn't mention those with chronic illness who will need constant care for the rest of their lives.

But yet reform is suppose to be for all people. People with chronic illness are allowed by insurance companies a few visits and are then cut off being told the services needed are not medically necessary which really means you're not going to get better and we can't afford to cover you any more.

When reform says everyone it should mean everyone.
