Sometimes if you get new insurance they won't cover pre-exsisting conditions
for a year, that is how BlueCross is and I know of a couple of other ones
that are like that. Also, sometimes they don't feel that certain things are
necessary that we made need to treat things. You would be surprised at the
things they get away with!
