Will you be able to get speech therapy after Obamacare?

When my son was two years old we went to see the pediatrician. I was told not to worry and we would recheck in a few months. This went on until my son was three and then we referred to a speech therapist. It is hard today to get insurance companies to pay for speech therapy. Most insurance companies do not see the critical need to get these children verbal. I worry about what will happen if the government is able to take over our health care. There needs to be health reform but the government is not the ones to do it. The government can't even take care of their post office, public schools, or VA......... This government is spending money like their is no tomorrow. I just worry that our children will be the ones to suffer. We need to be their voice. We need to stand up and demand that speech therapy is CRITICAL to those who need it. We don't want to wait 6 months. We don't want to wait a year. We want our kids to get the medical attention they need TODAY!!!!!!!! If the government takes over our health care system. We will be taxed out the whazoos! Not to mention we will have to wait a long time to get the critical care we need today!

  1. Yes, the battle is already on and I hate to see what is going to happen with Obamacare. I was chatting with a speech therapist this morning about it. She is liberal and excited about what is happening. I said it is already hard to get authorization now and I would guess it is going to be even harder. She did agree. The good news is that I got the kiddo back in to speech and he starts up tomorrow. Got use up those benefits before the end of the year. :)
