We are considering moving to the US for a work opportunity. However we have a 9 year old with epilepsy, currently well-managed with medication. Will we have a problem getting health insurance? My understanding is that this will be a huge expense if we can't get him insured. From what I can ascertain, it's possible to negotiate coverage for him through the company health plan. Is this correct? This will be the pivotal point for deciding whether or not to take the job.
I've been doing some research – from what I can see, if we're in a group (which as part of a huge corporation we would be), there's probably going to be a waiting period of 6 to 12 months and then he would be OK. Do I have that right? this is confusing!
