If you've had COVID, or ever tested positive for the COVID antibodies: preexisting condition.

Oh Shit!

3. IF you can even get insurance.

[iluvtennis]

6. Indeed. nt

4. I've been saying this for months, glad to see others are spreading the message.

[Heartstrings]

5. Me too!

This will be a pre-existing condition for decades!

7. Exactly, and given the potential for multisystem involvement, many findings will be "pre-existing"

That’s a lot of cardiac, pulmonary and neurological conditions

8. Wasn't it mentioned somewhere at some time that being female is considered preexisting condition?

[Grins]

9. Yup!

Because women - a LOT of them - were likely to become pregnant. And that would cut into insurance companies very big profits.

10. I will avoid getting tested until I'm on my deathbed. I know I'm not alone

I care about statistics as much as anyone, but I can't afford to pay any more than I'm already paying. If I get sick, I'll stay home, isolate myself and assume it's covid. No testing for me.

Just the threat is chilling

11. And that's just what Trump wants: less people tested for COVID

[Evolve Dammit]

12. first thing I thought

[rainin]

15. That's my point. I know if I'm chilled into action or inaction, I'm not alone.

It's scary that chaos has this effect, but it does. Only a Biden Administration can make this right. I realize I may be risking my life to save my finances (or my family's finances). I understand that early diagnosis may be the key to survival. I'm one of millions of Americans who are underinsured (high deductible plan) that discourages seeing a doctor. Last year, we paid over 50K in healthcare costs (19K for covered costs, premium plus deductible, and the rest for non-covered costs). I don't want to avoid the doctor, but I don't see how I can afford even higher premiums. This is reality.

13. we are screwed

On Sun 13 Sept I had to report to the hospital where I had a procedure done on Mon 14 Sept
No Exceptions ! !

They pulled 4 vials, which made 12 in a week

Why COVID

They said if they called me later Sun afternoon, it would be because of a positive
otherwise no news is good news for a negative.

14. K & R

Spread this far and wide.

[crickets]

16. But of course. *sigh* K&R for visibility.
