Not Everyone is Happy About Ryan's Law

Following a news story in the Charleston "Post and Courier" that discussed Ryan's Law were the following comments. Thank goodness some folks had the decency to respond to the first ignoramus.

Wonderful, so now the insurance rates for everyone in SC go up to cover another ailment most of them have never pressed a claim against!!

And a lawyer got an award for screwing us! Isn't that SPECIAL!!!

Feel good stories always touch me, right in the wallet.

Rollo, If you really want to feel screwed and have more money taken out of your wallet, lets do absolutely nothing for these kids. Forget the few dollars more it will cost you per month, less than 1% according to the insurance industry itself, to give these children the chance to begin first grade in a regular classroom with their peers reducing the amount schools have to spend on special education. Just forget the few more dollars you take out of your wallet to provide the needed therapies that will give these kids the chance to become tax paying members of society themselves! So, if we let you keep your selfish few dollars and do nothing, you end up paying hundreds more dollars in taxes instead to house these individuals at a cost of over $4 million per person for the rest of their lives in institutions just because you are so concerned about your few dollars. There are 28,000 individuals with autism in SC now, you do the math. I too pay insurance premiums and I too have a child with autism. Parents go bankrupt in order to pay for these therapies. How does that help the economy? I have spent tens of thousands of dollars myself for these therapies that I could have spent on buying the products or services that you yourself offer. I have seen the importance and benefit of these therapies and have seen my son return to our world from the world of his own. Lorri Unumb deserves more than this award and she has righted an injustice that she herself will not benefit from! I'd call you an idiot but I pity you instead!

In life, as adults, most of us have choices. We choose to drink, become alcoholics, need liver transplants, and expect insurance to pay for the rehab and transplant. We eat poor diets, become obese, and expect insurance to pay for the hospitalizations and medications for the resulting hypertension and obesity related illnesses. We smoke, and expect insurance to pay for our chemo for lung cancer. And the list goes on. I didn't smoke, drink, or do drugs during my pregnacy, or ever, for that matter. Went to the doctor for every appointment. PAID MY INSURANCE PREMIUMS, and deductables. Breastfed, provided a loving home and family for my child, who was diagnosed with autism before his second birthday. So, Rollo, why don't we just save everyone a lot of money. No coverage for adults whose bad habbits lead to their health problems, they pay out of pocket. Instead, let's give healthcare coverage only to people who have lead good clean lives and are sick or have sick children anyway. Bet it would cost less, and save you a bundle on premiums! Unless, of course, you smoke, drink, or eat fast food regularly, then I guess you'd be out of luck. Lorri is amazing, kudos to her for standing up for those who literallly can't speak for themselves.

Hey,

Paying for autism is just another way to ease the families with autism..just like I pay for fat people with heart problems or for smokers for their lung problems, or anything else even though I am not fat and don't live to eat like some of those fat people..but I am paying for their bad habits..it is just facts of life.. Unfortunately, this is the price we all have to pay for since stupid doctors screw so many children with unnecessary vaccines to make them to be vulnerable.

The Children who grow up in Carolina Ryan's Law group homes are being used in very illegal transgenic drug research for a local Isis plant called Roche Carolina.
Lorri and Dan Unumb were given a healthy child and their theories of health created what is called non verbal chemically induced autism regression.
This couple has no right to make health choices for the disabled children in medicade group homes
Little Ryan will never see the inside of a backwoods autism facility that forces children into transgenic drug research.
If you would like to hear from Autism on the Ryan's Law health coverage please call Autism
