[nagdu] Compare and contrast

[tina thomas]

Hello Janine- When I went for training for a new dog at the Seeing Eye, they
did not ask to make copies of my insurance cards. They did ask that we bring
our insurance information just in case something happened and we needed to
be treated by a doctor. BTW, I don't see anything wrong with  asking for
insurance information from the people attending a residential program.
Sounds like it is standard practice to do so. JMO

Thanks Tina. I think most folks would find that an acceptable policy. I
don't believe we make copies of your cards at GDf when you arrive, at least
we haven't in the past, unless you are a veteran, but we do certainly ask to
let us know that you do have some type of insurance or other arrangements
when you arrive. 

I think Seeing eye and other schools do the same as the centers, making
copies of the cards upon arrival. 

I'm sure the schools that do ask for policy info on the initial application
have some reason and yes, I'd love to know the reasoning, not to criticize,
but to understand why at that point rather than another in the process.
