I am also modifying the offending remark. I hope that satisfies. I do not wish to discuss my health with you, but with my doctor (who apparently misdiagnosed me, but at least has seen my condition). I am sorry for your pain and the ravages of your condition. Mine is minor but certainly comprises all the elements you mentioned. <BR/><BR/>Let's keep the comments on topic. Also if you wish to continue commenting please use your name and/or blogger tag so that we can see your context and where you're coming from. We strive for an open forum here.

Being a young male with absolutely zero health problems, I figured this would be no big deal, if a bit expensive.<BR/><BR/>The mistake I made was in being scrupulously honest in my application. When asked if I have ever, in the last ten years, had a respiratory infection, I replied, yes, as a high school sophomore I had pneumonia that had me down for a week.<BR/><BR/>For this, I was denied coverage. A bout of pneumonia from 7 years previous.<BR/><BR/>Stasi this will come as a shock to you, but on this one you, I and Michael Moore are all in agreement. I am normally a doctrinaire free-market libertarian, but since when you are ill you are in no position to comparison shop there can never be an free market in health care. I vote single-payer system, and we can decide politically the level of care we wish to provide and what % of the GNP we're willing to devote to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
