Furthermore, I fixed an extremely important health insurance issue. My current insurance was inquiring about something I had done saying it was a pre-existing condition. After more phone calls and some Internet advice I found out I was alright b/c I had health insurance previous to this plan and never let it lapse more than 62 days. So, I learned a valuable lesson today. NEVER, never let your health insurance lapse for more than 62 days. I know it can be expensive, but if you have any way to pay for a private plan, COBRA, a plan through school, or something else, do it. These insurance companies will try to find every reason not to cover you.
I saw a comment that I think sums it up best, "sadly, health insurance is for the healthy and not the unhealthy/sick."
