[quote=Jazzman]I can’t even get catastrophic cover at the moment. I’m healthy and have no pre-existing conditions. Not only that but I had to go through very extensive tests. They just didn’t want to cover me from the start so decided to waste my time and money instead. I’m glad they didn’t offer me cover because I see now a claim would have been a nightmare.[/quote]
The scary thing with the previous system was that if you ever participated in those clinical trials or just wanted to test something, even if it was negative, you could’ve been blacklisted I think so it was best to keep your whole medical record as clean as possible even if you didn’t have issues from the tests.
It was downright scary trying to get coverage and you felt like a slave to whatever the insurance companies were charging.
If you have a nice corporate plan, I don’t think many people know what it’s like similar to losing a job and not finding work, etc…
