Health Insurance for Nadya Suleman with 14 kids?
February 11, 2009
So you probably have read, heard or wathced the story about Nadya Suleman a Californian who had octuplets (which is 8 kids if you didn’t know). I got to thinking about the massive amount of cost it will be for her to have health care for these kids.
The unique thing about health insurance this that at some point adding kids to your policy is free and if Nadya does have health insurance I’m sure her company is trying to figure a way not to cover her.
The society response from this story has gone quickly from amazement to how can you be irresponsible. Can you imagine how much tax dollars will now most likely be spent on her and her family? Another question is whose fault is it really? Did her doctor fertilize too many eggs?
It also brings up the question of should their be a limit to how many children you can have in one family? My dad had 7 in his family.
WWHID (What Would Health Insurance Do?)
Can you imagine her trying to get private health insurance? I think the health insurance carriers would be frantically looking for a way to decline her or raise her premiums to unbearable. There would have to be some type of special form to fill out with 14 dependents.
The story is interesting and makes me wonder how a private health insurance carrier would handle her application. Does anyone have any thoughts?
