okalb 78 #5 May 8, 2016 Sounds like when my insurance company (long before Obamacare) in my forms asked if I had any previous surgeries. I listed that my Gall Bladder had been removed about 4 years prior. They tried to add a waiver to my policy that said they would not cover any issues with my gall bladder. I went back and forth with them for an insane amount of time trying to explain that the fact that I no longer had a gall bladder made it pretty obvious that I would never have any gall bladder issues. They couldn't accept that concept. I also have psoriasis, at the time, every few years I would get a small patch on my knee, the doc would prescribe a tube of cream and in a few days it would be gone, not to be seen again for a few years. The insurance company insisted on adding a waiver that said they would not cover my psoriasis or ANY skin related condition. Let's start with the fact that psoriasis is not actually a skin condition, it's an auto-immune condition. When I pushed what they meant by ANY skin condition they insisted on just what it said. I asked if that meant that in 6 months I am diagnosed with skin cancer, would it be covered. They said it absolutely would not be covered. They would not issue me a policy without that waiver. I live in FL where skin cancer is a legitimate issue and they would not cover it because of a completely unrelated non-skin related disease that I have. Obviously leaving it in the hands of the insurance companies wasn't the solution. Thanks to Obamacare I no longer have to worry about those kind of ridiculous issues.Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,048 #12 May 8, 2016 Hi Scooby, Quote If there was to be an invasion of the Japanese homelands, there were convinced they would be killed. Based upon my readings, the estimates were 1 million US military ( along with other invasion partners ) would be killed & it would take 1 1/2 yrs to complete if we had invaded Japan.

jakee 1,255 #13 May 8, 2016 So you saw an uncredited, unverified viral photo of a statement on a website with no identification of that site except for a cartoon text overlay from some random internet contributor and your urge to post it was stronger than your desire to find out if the text was true?
