I am so sorry. How can we escalate this to your senators or congressmen in Tennessee ?? Isn't there a bigger outfit you can ask for legal assistance that would be able to amplify your situation? It isn't right what families of handicapped and special needs members have to go thru to get the care they need.

The ONLY plan they had to offer me was 764.00 a month! I went from being only 200.00 over the qualifications for MA to being expected to pay almost 3/4 of my income on healthcare. And I need it due to chronic health issues. I went to my State Rep to help me file an appeal. They sent it right to a supervisor for me, and I had my MA back within 4 days. Have you tried someone like that? I'm sure you have, but I'm hoping something will help you. I have two special needs Grandchildren and it would make me curious if this were happening to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766365874299391708.post-31913518519349192862017-03-08T07:13:16.161-06:002017-03-08T07:13:16.161-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922548504651549107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766365874299391708.post-66288212445701035122017-03-08T06:00:47.494-06:002017-03-08T06:00:47.494-06:00This must be so difficult and heartwrenching.

But you already have a voice...a platform. You have a foundation on which to stand to launch a battle for change. I imagine this is an issue in a multitude of other states. Start with TN...lead the charge.

Go to their offices and plead your case. They can help--tell them Christian's story as eloquently as you always do...don't take no for an answer. Get a support group to picket outside their offices with signs, get news coverage TV and newspaper, show the denial letter to the journalist, i.e. get organized and make a stink. Also check with ACLU, ADA, other disability organizations about getting a lawyer pro bono to represent Christian. Pardon me, I know y'all are Christians I have been following y'all for years...and you have inspired me more than I can say...but at this moment, all I can tell you is give them hell. Politicians don't like to look bad, neither do companies, use that to make them do what's right. I hope this helps and you are in my prayers.<br /><br />Claire Spann cspann7269@live.com Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173622174374023519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766365874299391708.post-91926443424310260492017-03-07T23:17:52.402-06:002017-03-07T23:17:52.402-06:00Lacey,
Don't get discouraged. Of course it'...Lacey,<br />Don't get discouraged. Of course it's all about the money with these people...can't forget who is running the show! Just always remember God is in control, He is greater than any problem or obstacle you will come to face with. Rely on God alone, it is He who stays close and never lets go of your hand, ceaselessly working on your behalf.<br />Try training your mind and thoughts to focus more on Him and how much greater He is than the problem itself, putting your trust in Him!! You know that if God can take care of the small things then He can certainly take care of ALL things Lacey...Continue to be prayerful and cling to God and His Word, trusting Him, and I will continue to be prayerful for you and your amazing family!!<br />Romans 8:28:"....ALL things..."<br />-Miranda MyersMiranda Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10426452850138973747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766365874299391708.post-73473690334099274052017-03-07T22:39:16.613-06:002017-03-07T22:39:16.613-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482673111042900351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766365874299391708.post-48439053068656357092017-03-07T22:37:37.667-06:002017-03-07T22:37:37.667-06:00My heart goes out to you.

I understand when you say why should you fight your tail off, it should NOT be this way. I agree but unfortunately you will always find yourself fighting battles for your children with special needs. It really sucks, the time and energy spent fighting for your children rights and services should be spend on caring for them and finding time to also care for yourself but thats not the way it works. Only parents with special needs children know what you are going through. This is what makes us parents so special, because it is an never-ending battle we fight. You put on ur fighting gloves and fight! At the end of the day you will find your self feeling exhausted but also feeling rewarded knowing that it was all for the good of your son. You will win and you will feel triumph.

But they willy nilly give it to women, men,and their kids because they're too lazy to get off their butt and get a job to pay for insurance. Sorry but a pregnant woman should be on and cut off 3 months post partum. A "normal" child should be on it until age 6, not their parents too. Again, TennCare needs to only be for disabled, elderly, and veterans.

He has been denied all types of coverage. He was born missing his limbs. He will ALWAYS need help & yet we don't qualify. We were blessed in the fact he has a strong immune system, but all surgeries & procedures are high risk and need specialists' attention & prosthetics and equipment will also be needed. I pray that one day the "system" will identify the children as children and not a wallet or paycheck.

In Australia we have a disability pension scheme which is equally impossible to apply for.<br />In our case, my autistic grandson has used up all his funding. It mostly went on speech therapy & he's come a really long way, but as his mum is on an invalid pension & I am on an aged pension, there is little left for ongoing therapies. He still really needs occupational therapy, chiro, speech & could do with a teaching aid at school to stop him falling behind, but these are beyond our means.<br />This all means that his chances of growing into a self sufficient, independent young man, are limited. You'd think governments would realise, this will end up costing them far more in the long run, than investing in him NOW.<br />Frustrating to say the least, not to mention worrying & heartbreaking<br />Sending love & every good wish for the future<br />Teresa-JaneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07690872286020973879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766365874299391708.post-48595806077711115932017-03-07T20:33:20.103-06:002017-03-07T20:33:20.103-06:00How can they not approve him?

I have had to fight the insurance companies for myself more than I'd like. It is awful that the almighty dollar comes before a beautiful child and his hard working parents. Like you said people who can't get through their papers won't even know they can fight or how to. They set them up for failure. It is horrible and I hope that one day our insurance companies aren't billion dollar companies profiting on the ill. Hang in there. You are such an amazing mother!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00051851890342340902noreply@blogger.com
