-- My best friend worked for Harris ins. here that recently got bought out by Pacificare. You could try there ins. My best friend has thyroid disease and is near 300 lbs, as well as several others that work there. I am on CIGNA and haven't any problems w/ the weight thing there either. I used to have Humana ins. but they are a pain in the rear, so I would stay away. Maybe someone else has other ideas. Amy PS Neiman Marcus is no longer selling clothes size 16 and up anymore. I personally think they are too expensive, but it still angers me. Especially considering the average american woman is at least a size 12, 14, 16. I'll have to tell my best friend not to shop there anymore. She can afford those kinds of clothes, but if they are going to say she is too fat to sell to then she shouldn't shop there at all. Okay, enough of my soapbox.
