What is presented here should be pretty evident to most anyone.

Coverage is a big issue. Almost anybody can get declined coverage. My 21 year old daughter just got declined by Kaiser for a secondary infection event (from a routine appendix procedure) that happened 5 years ago. She is healthy as a horse now......

If she was covered by Kaiser, what was the reason. I have always been skeptical of HMO type insurance that benefits from limiting care as opposed to fee for service type insurance plans whose providers benefit most from providing care. We need to be sure that "gatekeepers" as described in this article are not part of the equation. |

She does not qualify under ours since she is not "full-Time". |

She does not qualify under ours since she is not "full-Time". She was denied coverage for a "pre-existing condition". Now that is not fair, but even more unfair is those of that age who never look for coverage until they need it. This is a big issue in the current debate and a tough one. |

Yes Win...and the condition has not existed for 5 years! It was a temporary infection (a bad one however). We are looking at an alternative to Kaiser, although that was supposed to be one of the easiest. |
