Bonnie,

I dont want to highjack your blog but I dont understand. How can you be without medical insurance and can insurance companies refuse to insure you? It all sound a complicated nightmare to me.

I am glad you are now insured.

It was a nightmare...when I worked I carried our medical Insurance because my husband is self employed. When I could no longer worker I was offered COBRA which was way toooooooo expensive...Since my husband was a veteran he could get medical care through the VA. I checked into various Insurance companies and just couldn't afford the monthly premiums plus most had a pre existing clause so...we just paid for Dr. visits out of pocket which "luckily" was way less than the monthly remiums would have been..I'm sure there were a few times I should have gone in or had some other tests done, but have maintaining & keeping fingers crossed. I had Insurance from time of stroke until 3 months after. so had MRI and PT. I continued doing PT at home on my own. We own property and husband being self employed we are in that "gray" area for assistance.
