Discuss the Insurance problems Hernani might encounter by changing jobs.?


Hernani Fermin, 35 yr old married father, was diagnosed HIV positive. he left his job as a sales representative. His doctor suggested he rethink his carrer goals.

He sent out resumes . Finally one was well received by South Hills Middle school. They had a opening in their math department, plus a need for someone to coach after-school athletics, and they wanted to meet with him. He hadn't interviewed since the twins were born seven years ago. He thought about the question normally asked--would there be some question about his health ? Being HIV positive shouldn't have any bearing on his ability to teach, but parents might be concerned. And it might be disqualify him for the school's health insurance policy. Hernani believed in honesty, but what would happen to his family revealed his HIV status?
