Pre-existing Conditions

The whole notion of pre-existing conditions is debatable. On one hand insurance companies only want to take your money as long as you are healthy, and have no real need for medical attention. On the other hand, an individual facing illness on a daily basis could make it difficult for others to acquire affordable coverage. For people with pre-existing conditions, the only alternative outside of group coverage, are limited medical benefit plans and discount plans. Limited medical benefit plans provide some coverage for basic medical necessities, but most plans fall short of substantial assistance when faced with catastrophic medical issues. The plans open the portal to health care but are limited, as the name suggests, in the care that an individual who really needs it, can get. Moreover, the risk of being taken advantage of by opportunistic insurance agents is high. Discount plans only provide discounts. Most are not accepted by the health care providers that they claim to be affiliated with, thus mounting frustration with the consumer who bought into the hype. Most importantly, discount plans are NOT insurance.
The idea of insurance is to insure in case of loss. In the case of health insurance, loss is illness. If an individual is willing to pay a monthly premium why not allow them the health care coverage they so greatly desire? Recently there has been a lot of discussion regarding pre-existing conditions and the government is trying to make it illegal for insurance companies to deny people converge for those who do have a pre-existing condition. But until that time it’s really slim-pickens’, but don’t loose heart here’s a company that excells in coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, Vital One Health, 877-500-2945.
