Each and every day, mothers are giving birth to special miracle babies with chromosomal abnormalities (specifically Trisomy18), that have beat the odds of being carried full term only to be discriminated against by doctors, hospitals, and especially health insurance companies. Common side effects of T-18 need to be considered for treatment independently from the overall chromosomal abnormality. Too often, T-18 has become the primary reason for denial of critical surgeries and procedures that can save these innocent lives. A prime example of this is Jonah Puruleski who is currently at Motts Childrens Hospital in Ann Arbor Michigan while Priority Health refuses to cover a surgical team in Ohio to perform the life saving surgery that Jonah needs.
