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.

What's National Insurance if it isn't health insurance? At least that might put it in terms that they can understand...
