re: #124 Killgore Trout

A lot of people have a hard time understanding the issues involved in buying your own insurance, it’s one of the reasons most people never noticed the healthcare crisis. Most people never saw the complexities and costs because they have insurance through their employers. In the past insurers were very eager to look for any excuse to cancel plans and make people sign up for new plans which cost more and have fewer benefits. I really wish I still had the same coverage plan I had 10 years ago, I’m pretty sure I couldn’t even buy that plan today regardless of cost. It simply wouldn’t be offered.

I only regret that I have but one upding to give that. So, so true. We had insurance some years ago that they just quit writing that policy and encouraged people to apply for a new policy. Fine if you’re healthy, but if you’re not, well, too bad for you.
I have been very happy with Kaiser, in part because they don’t fool around with that kind of stuff. At least they haven’t with us.
