[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 349743, member: 4040"] I see both good and bad to this. On one hand, Hubby and I have tried several times to get health insurance on our own, only to be told that 1) I'm more than 100 pounds overweight...and I'm not THAT heavy...and would have to lose that weight and keep it off for over 6 months; 2) Hubby was also overweight, needed to lose the weight, etc.; and 3) Miss KT would have to be medication-free for more than TWO years. So, we've gone several times in our ten-year marriage without insurance, though I've been able to get Miss KT on Medi-Cal. I'm pleased that they can't refuse you for pre-existing conditions. I wonder how much input/autonomy individual states will have on providing care, and how long wait time will increase for treatment. Time will tell, though, and I'm willing to see how it plays out.
