Dump him... find someone who has a job.
Better yet, I'd date a doctor if I were you.
Because we're not going to get this right anytime soon.

All I want is to not to be "denied coverage" for "previous conditions."
Are you ready to hear why I've been denied coverage? Get this: tinnitus (as a result of having been on indocin for TWO DAYS), and I had physical therapy on my knee, which RESOLVED THE ISSUEs I was having with my knee.
Sheesh.
Meanwhile, I pay nearly 25% of my monthly income for my unemployed husband's insurance premiums. This is the guy who hasn't been to a doctor in over 15 years.

My cousin got denied for hay fever. The whole thing is so deeply, incomprehensibly immoral that it's almost impossible to believe.

Did I understand this correctly:
You're saying that people are being denied ANY medical insurance whatsoever, because they have a pre-existing medical condition of some sort? (I could sort of understand if it limited the coverage in illmesses directly related to it...)
No wonder people have to sue McDonald's for burning them with coffee. How else could they afford to pay for the doctor?

Yes, private insurance companies can and do deny any and all coverage. They simply refuse to take you on as a customer. In the case of my cousin she was forced into the state run "high risk" (hay fever!) pool where the coverage was crap and the fees exorbitant.

That's just ridiculous.
You'd think that thousands of dollars worth of isurance premiums each year would be more than emough to cover the risk of potential medical bills, but I guess they are only interested in making as much money as possible, with as little effort as possible.
I suppose it's fairly easy to deny coverage of everything if you want to... Cancers are pre-existing conditions (they were just too small to detect!), most diseases can be caused by personal lifestyle choices (smoking, drinking) which aren't covered, etc.
Profiting from medical insurance must be one of the easiest ways to make money.
