Time magazine has as their cover story, "So you think you're insured?" as a way to frighten people into buying their magazine.
The story tells the plight of Patrick Tumulty, a 54 year old male with kidney failure and a short term major medical plan.
The diagnosis was only the first shock. The second came a few weeks later, in an Aug. 5 letter from Pat's health-insurance company. For six years — since losing the last job he had that provided medical coverage — Pat had been faithfully paying premiums to Assurant Health, buying a series of six-month medical policies, one after the other, always hoping he would soon find a job that would include health coverage.

Finding health insurance in Georgia is usually not that difficult, if you know the rules. Most people, including the bulk of agents, do not. I have a reputation for taking on challenging cases and almost always finding a good offer. That's because I know the rules of engagement.
John Dorschner of the Miami Herald isn't playing nice. His ignorance of risk management coupled with publishing (on the web) a carrier guide that is clearly marked "Confidential & proprietary" makes one question his ethics. His article subitled "How health insurers secretly blacklist those with certain ailments" while based in truth shows his ignorance.
