We are a group of friends who have come together because we share the common bond of caring for someone who has Trisomy 21. We are here to share therapy tips, medical issues, laughs, accomplishments and yes, even frustrations. We embrace what Trisomy 21 has brought into our lives. We feel that it has taught us to appreciate the true meaning of life. We count our children as blessings! We will fiercely protect them and fight for their lives to be valued just as all other peoples' are. We share our pictures, our stories and our hearts here not only to provide friendship and support for each other, but also in the hopes that others will open their minds and their hearts to our unique children and, in turn, make a better world for everyone.

Medical Assistance at age 18

I was talking with my son's grandmother the other day, she retired from SSA. I was talking about when I should go to SSA and fill out the paperwork next year when Alex turns 18.

She stated that I should keep him on my health insurance policy and use the one from SSI/Medical Asst. as a supplementel plan.

I have noticed in the past when taking Alex to the dr. they say if you had the govt insurance it would be covered but not with our private insurance.

Is there a benefit to keeping out teens on our policy even when they qualify for their own through the govt.
