What I did see today when I shopped a case was something that would not have happened 3 years ago or more. Frankly its not a result Ive ever had. The case involves a 32 year old who was diagnosed type 1 at age 9. Hes never had any serious problems, has no diabetes related health issues and on an insulin pump has his A1c dialed in pretty consistently at 7.5.

Written by Bella Cullen Friday, 11 November 2011
A new report in the December edition of Prevention magazine identified that it is legal to deny women health insurance on the basis of gender in 37 states. In the same report, it was found that 95 percent of health insurance companies that offer individual health plans practice gender-related denials or charge more for coverage.
