Supreme Court Issues Notice Over Epilepsy Insurance Exclusion

Supreme Court Issues Notice Over Epilepsy Insurance Exclusion

Imagine if your health insurance didn't cover a specific illness, like epilepsy.

A group called Sanvedana Foundation thinks this isn't fair.

They went to the Supreme Court, asking them to change this.

The court has now asked the government and the insurance regulator why they exclude epilepsy from coverage.

The foundation argues that excluding epilepsy is wrong, claiming it violates people's rights.

Insurance companies currently don't cover epilepsy directly because it's classified as a neurological disorder.

The court is now considering the arguments from both sides to decide if the current rules are fair.
