evoke25 asked: Please help! My uncle, who is in his fifties and has kidney problems (stones) and other issues, has doctors who **** because he is forced to stay with his crappy health plan. I won’t name it, but his doctors are indifferent and haven’t helped him and he can’t afford to see another doctor. He also is discouraged and is too upset to haggle with insurance people, so he just allows himself to suffer.
So, I want to help. What can he do to eventually switch plans (legally) when he has been with one for so long and is currently sick? Every insurance carrier will not take a new customer if that person is sick (pre-existing condition clause) so a sick person is effectiively screwed. He has nothing terminal and does not have diabetes.
Please! If there are any insiders who wish to earn some good karma and relieve the pain of someone who has given up, now would be a great time!
