I see. So what is an immediate health concern.. blood pouring from the face? Looking like you have the plague, chicken pox and worse all at the same time?
So when does acne or a facelift affect health? Since you brought it up?
How about a deflated breast implant that is seeping into the body.. is that "immediate" enough or because it is part of a cosmetic surgery then it is a "pre-existing" condition.?
Look, your own article doesn't get it right, not my problem, a leaky breast implant that contains silicone IS covered, because that would be an immediate health risk, septic acne would be as well, now, what the story gets wrong is that the person would have coverage, just not for pre-existing conditions, EXCEPT for things that provably could cause death or disfigurement, they might even not cover something or reduce coverage, but then again NOT all insurance companies have the same policies, practices, or coverage models. See, it's easy to use a source that says blindly what you want it to, the problem is it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
So you are telling me that in a standard basic healthcare insurance coverage there is no pregnancy coverage for women? So insurance companies dont expect women to have babies... I see.
There is no "standard" coverage, there are state requirements, there are policy minimums, and there are in fact many companies that offer a low priced rider instead of just covering pregnancy as a blanket condition....you know.....cause not everyone will get pregnant like, men, infertile women, women who don't plan to have children, young children............
I did, it was crap, first paragraph started out with bad info, it only got worse from there.
And you expect the companies to some how miraculous change their spots over a decade and especially when it is not illegal in those 8 states? If it was not a problem, then why the hell did the other 42 states put bans in place? Because they had nothing better to do?
Companies that use that practice don't often retain customers, and chances are they will be answering to an insurance commissioner for something in the future anyway.
In other words you are defending the companies yet again for being able to screw over American's.. nice to know the conservative mindset rules again.
I see, so you throw an insult because you are uninformed about the argument, and can't mind your own countries business. Gotcha, again, MYOB.
LOL you accuse me of using a blanket statement and then you throw out one of your own.
You DO know what a blanket statement means right?
