Denied Health Coverge due to Apnea!

Posted by Thunder Bay on December 18, 2006 at 21:29:28:

Well, it's true. Someone on this forum said they couldnt deny coverage that if you have been continually insured on a group plan for X number of years, and I have been on two group plans over a span of 10 years, but my Cobra extension from my last job is expiring Dec. 31

So I went out shopping for individual plans and everyone of those vicious, arrogant, smug, money-grubbing, immoral *&#$@'s dismissively and nastily and abruptly told me they would not insure me, due to my apnea. So Here I am with a life threatening disease and the amoral monsters who run the insurance companies turned their backs on me.

I could only find one plan that would take me, and it is a joke -- Blue Cross for $350 a month, but no dental, and no vision, and my co-pay for prescriptions is 50 percent. And I take a couple of expensive medications that are, like $150 a month before insurance. I took it just to be protected in the event of a catastrophe like a heart attack or stroke

And my co pay for everything else is 30 percent, including surgical procedures! And I am considering apnea surgeries

So now I have to go out and find a supplemental plan to cover vicion, dental and prescriptions, which I'm sure will be another $100 a month or so

I hope all of these insurance executives get a debilitating disease and die long, slow, painful deaths

I havent investigated yet what my co pay for my Cpap will be, but I am guessint it will be 30 percent.

These miserable excuses for humanity should be prosecuted and imprisoned for what they do to people like us.

I am so angry that If I had one of them in the room with me, I'd beat his brains in
