I bet they keep advancing the age so that you never get there.
Whatever you get, be sure to plan ahead. Once you have
a pre-existing
condition you are locked in and can't change even the type of policy within
the same company. As the Healthcare Bill starts to take effect, this problem
will be reduced or even eliminated but the rates for such policies are not
limited unless your state has regulations.
I think the bill will get us some temporary relief, but that's it. I
think the rates will just continue to climb. It will turn into a
social security style health insurance tax.
The stock prices of all the health insurance companies went way up
after they signed the bill. What does that tell you?
