At least now with the changes in the law, persons with preexisting health issues can no longer be denied health care coverage!
This is my situation too. I am grateful to still be alive.... I am grateful too that healthy seniors have plans available that they can benefit from more reasonably, while those like me have, yes, more costly alternatives that work for us.
