It SHOULD be illegal, but apparently not, as when I applied for insurance back in '99 before dx, I put on the application that I had an undiagnosed breast lump, and was turned down. But, I WAS able to get into Oregon's High Risk Pool, and my understanding of the risk pool's is that generally there's a six month waiting period before any pre-existing condition is covered. I know, you can rack up a lot of expenses in six months. It is just criminal that we don't have a national health care system. Sometimes our supposedly civilized nation seems more and more like a third world country. Just my 2 cents.
