Sicko...
So, I haven't seen the movie but here's a choice one for you.
M's asthma isn't covered by our medical insurance because it is a pre-existing condition.
"A medical condition is considered to be pre-existing if the member did not have prior health insurance or did not have health insurance within 180 days of enrolling in this plan."
I just tried to explain the NHS to somebody on the phone who completely boggled at the concept.
So... now we have to enter the appeals process and I need to think about what getting a renewal on my blood pressure medication is going to cost me.

OTOH I had my BP taken at the dentist a few weeks ago. They only took one, and that was taken through the sleeve of a rugby shirt and it came in at 157/83 which is actually not bad for those conditions (at least for me). Normally they have to take 3 over several minutes so I stop panicing irationally when they stick the cuff on.
Obviously its nothing on the Wag scale, but we can't all be Wag.
