This makes me suspect it's a deliberate business strategy.


Try this on for size...

MY insurance company specifically excludes preventative care from their coverage.

That means if I want a PSA test for colon cancer screening (or, God forbid, a colonostomy exam) I pay for it 100% myself.

It is absolutely beyond my comprehension that the insurance company bean counters could possibly believe that not paying for a few PSA tests will save them enough money to cover the expenses involved if even one of their clients contracts colon cancer and remains undiagnosed until it is in the late stages.

I wonder if I went to see the doctor with a big gash in my arm if the insurance company would deny coverage on the basis that putting in the stitches was a preventative measure, preventing me from bleeding to death? I wouldn't put it past them.

Mexico has excellent health care, and as a resident (I'll be class FM-3 when I move there) I will be eligible for their health care insurance for about $300 per year that covers both my wife and myself.
