Okay, so I've been checking into my company's health insurance. Since I'm aware of how health insurance providers can be infamously finicky about doling out dough to pay for stuff, I thought I'd try and work through as much of the small print as I could.
And I found something interesting. Medical aid recieved because of an "act of war" whether "declared or undeclared" is not covered by this health plan. What?! How unpatriotic is that?!
Here's the rub, though. A friend mentioned that this line of exceptions were probably added after 9/11. Why? Because so many people probably had to file insurance claims after that event. Why? Well, probably because they got hurt because of an "undeclared" act of war.
Here's my question, are health insurance providers here to help us get decent health care, or are they in it for the money? That may seem to be a flippant question, but it's answer will largely determine their direction and their decisions.
So, um, I'd grab the latest copy of my health insurance coverage, if I were you, and check out some of that smaller print.
