Each child must be insured with the parents for a funeral, even though the child is seriously ill. That principle would apply insurer Ardanta in the future. Ardanta thus seems to make a bow to Bo, who has leukemia and initially refused a funeral.
Ardanta refused previously to secure an unexpected funeral of nine-year-old girl from Zeewolde.
So far only children could be insured up to 30 days after birth, regardless of their health.According to director Guido Horst is that from July 1 otherwise. Ardanta will not ask about the health of children, regardless of their age. As co-insured children are 18, Ardanta will also offer its own policy, without asking for health.
Action
The change is the result of an action of mother Laura Prince had no insurance for her seriously ill daughter. The rejection letter posted on Facebook Prince. ,, The first confrontation that ordinary life shall definitely not if you have to deal with childhood cancer.A rejection for a funeral. And then you are 9 years old, "the mother of Zeewolde put on the social media. The message was shared tens of thousands of times and the story went around on various media.
Father Peter Prince says that the intention Ardanta now pronounce 'naturally beautiful'. He is 'well done' to the subject because all the attention should be paid to Bo and the struggle they are waging against the disease. She has a two-year period of treatment ahead. He tells how happy the family will be when that time behind him.
Awareness
The chance that Bo survives the disease is large, told her mother two weeks ago. The funeral seems the 9-year-old lucky not to need quickly. Mother Laura put the message especially online to raise awareness. ,, My daughter has leukemia. Fifty years ago, did you kill them, but fortunately it can now be successfully treated. The survival rate is 85 percent.My daughter may be 90, just like any other child. But actually gives the letter that you have written to insurers. So what will happen if Bo later want life insurance, a mortgage, a loan to a business. You're already facing a disease that has a lot of impact, but then you chasing that in this way all your life. ''

Discrimination
,, How did we get in such a society? Get a burning house can not insure against fire I understand. My child is sick, but not sick. It is actually very good with her. There is much written lately about discrimination. This feels to me like that. And it is bitter: Bo's great-grandparents, grandparents and mother are all insured at Ardanta. And they get a rejection.Where her name spelled wrong still is too. "
Anita Wassink, spokesman Ardanta, suggested two weeks ago to be aware of the issue. ,, How sad it is perhaps in this case, there are rules for acceptance at a funeral. The medical certificate may lead to insured persons with a higher risk of earlier death, a premium increase applied is whether insurance is refused. That is determined by a medical advisor.We make this rule not the exception. Incidentally, we do not only applicable to all insurers. '' Meanwhile anyway so the insurer seems caved.
