> SusanThanks Susan -- I'm in California under Blue Cross. I was able to get insurance but like I said, I'm paying a 20% per month premium because of my pre-existing condition. It's basically CYA insurance too as my deductible is very high and not a lot is covered. Still, it's better than nothing I guess.
