Joe and I are trying to find a company to insure me. We are having no luck at all.

They don’t care that it was a birth defect that caused my heart attack. They are treating me like I eat fried foods everyday and smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day.

My cardiologist Dr Beltran in Athens said that my heart is now more like a heart of a 20 year old and I should not have any problems in the future. Unless I take up smoking and eat 10 big macs a day.

Shouldn’t the insurance companies look at that? Look at how healthy that I am now? They should look at the fact that my blood pressure is excellent and it always was. I don’t take medication for my heart. The only reason that Dr. Beltran even put me on Lipitor was for preventative measures.

You would think that the insurance companies would look at the fact that it was a birth defect that was never caught because my blood pressure was always excellent and they had no need to look into any problems.

I didn’t even know that there was a problem till the day my artery collapsed and I had a heart attack!

Insurance companies used to be out there to help people. Now they are only there to help their stock holders.

Oh and Blue Cross Blue Shield is entitled to cover me since I was on the plan when it Ihappened, but they are trying to charge $650 a month! That is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate to say this, but I would rather go without insurance then pay that!
America should have goverment insurance like they do in England.

Joe is going to look into another way we can get me on insurance. It may have to be a high deductible and I may have to open up an escro account that would be just for Dr.’s visits.

We will see what happens.
