I just talked to a friend.
30 years old.
Cancer in remission.
$1,200 a month and all kinds of disalloweds..
$10,000 deductible
Wuh hawppen tuh pre-existing?
Horrid!!!
I sell health insurance in Californicate. All policies sold during ‘open enrollment’ are ‘guaranteed issue’. There are no heatlh questions.
Your friend with Cancer needs to ask the the doctors/hospitals he has treatment from which plans from the ones currently available will pay for the treatment he is recieving. Also, the only way the deductible is that high is if he is on an older plan or it is a family plan with a combined deductible.
It is not the preexisting condition limitations that get the consumer now, it is the restrictions on coverage inside the new policies by the contracts they are forced to sell. :(
