Health schemes for KC patients?

Postby Dave Dale » Wed 14 Apr 2004 11:54 pm

Been thinking about this recently and wondering if anyone here as any experience?

Has anyone joined such a scheme to cover things from CL costs right up to payments being received if off work for long periods due to KC?

Is worries me that if I caould'nt wear my lenses at any time I would be unable to leave the house, nevermind teach 30 teenagers!! I know most of us are in a simliar boat but my dependancy on a plastic disc is scary at times that I for one take for granted!

So any experince of health plans/insurance schemes would be apperciated.

Dave.

Good idea. Why not post a question and see how many folk agree. If you get a lot of support then the KC group would know about the elvel of support any may be persuaded to make contact with underwriters to see how things go.

Dave, Andrew has had a great idea. To start a poll running, just post a new topic as usual, and then put some text in the "poll" bits below the blue line.

To everyone else: remember that you can only vote in a poll once, and only if you are a registered, logged-in user.
