WHAT!? (vaccination stuff)

AliciaS1411 · March 2013

I just got a letter in the mail from our insurance provider. It said that Elliot has missed a vaccine and that I needed to make an appointment to get it as soon as possible.

It went on to warn me that if I refuse to vaccinate and Elliot gets an illness or medical condition as a result of my "noncompliance with recommended vaccination schedules" then the insurance can refuse to cover the medical bills.

For the record- We vaccinate. We just had a major issue with the old pedi and Elliot didn't get his 4 and 6 month vaccines until he was 8 and 9 months old.

But I find it interesting that insurance companies (or at least ours) are fighting back against parents that refuse to vaccinate.

WDYT?

Oh hell no. I would be livid. It essentially takes choices away from me as a parent. What insurance do you have? What about kids that can't get vaccines so they are just SOL?

I think it's B.S., but then again I think the way insurance companies control the medical industry in general is a bunch of effed up B.S. so this shouldn't come as a surprise.

AG I love you. You bring up so many good points that I hadn't even gotten to because I'm still wrapping my mind around the initial letter. Its crazy to think about.

Another slippery slope. My niece was diagnosed with some major kidney issues when sis was pregnant. So what if the insurance said terminate or we won't cover the surgery or life saving measure she needs when she is born? Insurance companies having control

And no there is no vaccine for fat, but there is an answer. Eat less and exercise more, and hey no side effects and it is free!
