• Tom (and others) -- Since this topic got
started a couple years ago, the Federal government enacted the Affordable
Care Act which has a Pre-Existing Insurance
Condition
Plan
(PICP)
which is described,
as follows:
"A Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP)
will provide new coverage options to individuals who have been uninsured
for at least
six
months because of a pre-existing condition. States have the option of
running this new program in their state. If a state chooses not to do
so, a plan
will be established by the Department of Health and Human Services in
that state. This program serves as a bridge to 2014, when all discrimination
against pre-existing conditions will be prohibited."
To find out the details and costs in your state,
you can go to the government's web site. For example, your state of Kentucky
is here: http://www.healthcare.gov/law/provisions/preexisting/states/ky.html.
We hope this helps you and others take advantage of this new coverage.

• I had a stent over 9 years ago. Now I have found that for the first time
I will have to shop for Health Insurance. I have found that no Insurance Company
will take me. Does anybody have a suggestion? Is there any company that will
write affordable coverage?

• New question........... Has anyone had problems
with their insurance companies? Since 2 stents within 6 months mine is
asking for more information, I feel that I have enough to worry about
and my insurance paying should not be another worry
