One would think the whole point of health insurance is to provide you with health care (more precisely, the funds to acquire such) should you fall ill. Both of us are playing the odds. I'm betting that I'll need some expensive procedure I can't afford on my own someday; the insurer bets I don't. But if I do fall ill, for the insurer to raise my rates rather than provide the agreed-upon care seems like dirty pool. And to suggest that I ought to insure my insurance policy (and perhaps to be certain, I ought to insure the insurance on my insurance?) seems like a sign of massively broken system. For anyone but the insurers, at least. Patrick _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
