"I had a bladder infection at four months that caused some hemorrhaging, but I was treated and everything was cleared up." "Kimmel and Huculak said that when they purchased their insurance they spoke with a Blue Cross representative who assured them that they would be covered. Kimmel said looking back, there's nothing they could have done to have further protected themselves. "I think we did our due diligence.

And then when they get denied it causes quite a problem.""
