Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Janet, Gerber Plan would not insure my kids because they were sick children. Just thought you should know. i do agree though if you can find someone who will insure a sick child, do it, because it is next to impossible to get insurance for them as they progress. We tried to insure Kira at one year of age with no luck and then tried at 5 and then at nine all were denied due to her having a possible terminal illness. It is frustrating for sure. hugs o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 We have military life insurance but I just heard on the tv about globe life insurance. It says that life insurance for a child can never be canceled. The toll free number is . I believe that Gerber also has a plan called the grow up plan. I received a few brochures on this. The younger the child is the cheaper it is. They also offer the chance to double the coverage I think. Like if you have $5000 worth you can get $10000 at specific intervals. The importance of getting a plan that can never be caneled is that if when your child say is 25 and has a family of his or her own, if their symptoms are worse or if for some reason they are " uninsurable " they will still have that protection for there family. There are lots of plans out there--a term plan vs a whole life plan is the cheapest way to go. But, it is best to buy it now, fit it into your budget because as you get older the cost will only increase because of your age.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Yes, that is the problem with even having the positive result of a test in the medical records. Actually the only ones who know actually has melas are us, his school, and his doctor. His test result is under his middle name. Dr Tick actually suggested this and we paid for the test of $500 ourselves. We are not trying to hide anything but besides the problem with headaches and constipation he is just fine. I would hate to have him denied life insurance when he needs it for his family just because of this. He will probably live a long life even with this disease.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 This is why I was suggesting the family plan. I sure wish we had known before we had to pay sky high premiums for my older son. We were able to get the family plan before my second son was born and eventually they included my first son, because they took him off seizure meds at age two. laurie > From: mitooggo@... > Reply-To: > Date: Sun, 27 Jun 2004 01:57:21 EDT > To: > Subject: Re: JUST THOUGHT ABOUT SOME LIFE INSURANCE POSSIBLE > COMPANIES > > Janet, > > Gerber Plan would not insure my kids because they were sick children. > Just thought you should know. i do agree though if you can find someone who > will insure a sick child, do it, because it is next to impossible to get > insurance for them as they progress.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 We had a small life insurance policy on our son that was set up before he was born, but later he was turned down for additional coverage after diagnosis. The good news is that once he was an adult and had his own job, he was able to get additional life insurance through work with no questions and no physical. I realize this option hinges on being well enough to work as an adult, but in his case this is possible. He has great health insurance and benefits as a federal employee.
