I have been epiletic since the age of well, I remember diagniosed at 14 years of age. I think issused started earlier. I was allergic to medicine (dialantan). Well to make a long story short, I have nothing but problems obtaining insurance at a affordable rate since I was of age of 21 years old. You would not believe or have an idea what I would pay for private insurance if I did not work for the company that I do, at the age of 43 years old. I have to work due to the prices, even through the company that I work for, I do not understand, I have a degree, and have been in the field 15 + years, and I pay a lot, even through work. What does it take? My son and grandson do not have insurance and can not afford it, due to the prices. I see nothing but hell for those how come later.
