Thankyou for your suggestion. We will certainly look into this. We are going to need all the help we can get now that the health insurance reform bill is dying. With that out the way, the insurance companies can continue to deny care to kids like this - but now with even more conviction than B4.

You told your story very well! It is great that you will now get the care you need. It makes no sense that your insurance company won't cover this. I guess the best answer is to allow insurance companies to compete across state lines so that you could choose the company that would cover you. And maybe if they were allowed to compete, more insurance companies would cover it. It seems it would be easier to change state laws than it would be to pass laws forcing them to cover the things they don't.

Thanks for your input. Sadly my Employer chooses our health coverage - so choosing from insurance companies who cross State lines wont help. Also, since medical insurance companies are run as a biz for max profits, there are few incentives for them to do the right thing for these kids. Few parents of kids with ED are successful in persuading insurance companies to cover the oral aspect of this condition, so, if they cant pay themselves, must stand back whilst their child slowly deforms.

Too bad you don't have the freedom to choose your own insurance - through your employer. Unfortunately, from what you say not enough companies cover this at all. It seems ridiculous that they should be able to avoid such an obvious necessity. I am glad that your kids were able to make their voices heard and get the treatment they need. Maybe when they are finished you can post another video of them - you should even consider making it public to make more people aware.

Thanks for your comments. Lucy and Luke fight on in case we should lose the insurance we have and to help kids that cant get insurance at all. They are off to Washington DC later this month to state there case and see if they can bring about any changes.

I loved your video, you both did an awesome job! I can't wait to show it to my 2 daughters in the morning, I almost woke them up now to see. One of my daughters also has ED. I will be posting your link on a few sites for more exposure. You both are way too cute!!!

Thank you for your comments. Your kind words are really appreciated. Please feel free to post our links to more sites. The more exposure we got, the better. Our fight continues to make medical insurance companies help cover the costs of the oral aspects of ED. We all know its the right thing to do - but the wheels of Government and commerce turn slowly. We will post updates as they come in. Thanks again.
