Comments on: Healthcare Costs and Type 1 Diabetes http://www.jonathanramsey.com/healthcare-costs-and-type-1-diabetes.html Delightfully brash, Irish, acoustic songs of protest, love, shame, and glory.

I'm so sorry to hear the troubles your daughter has gone through. Anymore, I'm surprised to hear doctors waiting to put Type 1 patients on the pump. I read a lot about Massachusetts' health care legislation, in the past few years. I'm glad to hear a story from someone who has gotten at least some benefit from it. All my best for you and your daughter! Barbara,

I'm so sorry. My daughter is a professional Scottish musician (age 23) and constantly on the road, just diagnosed while on tour with Type 1 seven months ago. Her Freelancers musician's insurance out of NYC didn't cover anything but hospitalization in Santa Barbara. She's on Blue Cross or Shield now, only because she'd just moved to Boston (where they can't refuse you with a pre-existing condition -- otherwise, it really would've been scarey). Thank you Massachusetts! Still... so much to deal with just with health issues, not to mention the money game. Thanks for posting this. My daughter doesn't have a pump yet. She's at Joslin and they want to wait a year. thanks so much. I’m so sorry.

And thank you for the location of the two sites, I've added them to the Diabetes Search Engine that I'm maintaining at http://bernardfarrell.com/dse.html. Note that the Islets of Hope site is a .com, not a .org, so you should update the URL. I see you're an Irish music fan. I was raised on a diet of Planxty and other great trad irish groups. Do you like Seamus Ennis, the great uilleann pipes player? Last time I was 'home' in Ireland I picked up a double CD of his playing, bone-chillingly great. Jonathan
