Where do you live? I wonder if it is a state thing.
Also, if you are elderly, then a lot of doctors won't take you on because of existing limits on what can be charged, with or without insurance.

naw, not elderly. this has been the case for several states i've lived in.

Certain serious conditions, including cancer, heart-disease or insulin-dependent diabetes, may result in an automatic decline by the insurance company. However, there are a number of other common medical conditions thay may not necessarily prevent applicants from obtaining individual or family coverage.

i'm not aware of any limits on charges, the endo i am scheduled to see in january charges $650 for the initial visit + lab work. it will be a minimum of a couple grand just to get dialed in with her and that's before she really takes over my situation
