Comments on: Health Insurance Gone Bad http://blog.calorie-help.com/2009/06/24/health-insurance-gone-bad/ Do I really wanna eat that?

Read what happened to Robin Beaton. Representative Joe Barton of Texas even got involved to help resolve the issue. Even if you do pay close attention, that doesn't mean you know your family health history. Omit one immaterial thing unknowingly and you can still be dropped at the last second with your life hanging in the balance. To me, this is the equivalent of your auto insurance dropping you after an accident because you didn't tell them you had a parking ticket 20 years ago.

Be honest in your answers to these questions, this is how people are being rescinded. Once the policy is issued it becomes a contract, which cannot be rescinded for any reason other than misrepresenting yourself in the origional application. If they did not ask about it, they cannot rescid for it. Acne and other such conditions are generally not asked.
