From the article: Death Panels Already Exist
A friend of mine was denied payment from her husband's employee insurance plan for prenatal care and the delivery of her newborn. They claimed her pregnancy -- which occurred a mere couple of weeks before her wedding and wasn't discovered until after her honeymoon -- was a "pre-existing condition". She fought hard and eventually won but precious time with her newborn was wasted on the battle. Have you ever been denied a health insurance claim? Share with readers how the denial of your health insurance claim affected your life.
