Health Insurance & Asthma Posted: 05-05-05 19:32pm
I quit my job 4 months ago and have not
had insurance since then. I've applied
for health insurance, but because I have
asthma and I am an ex-smoker (quit 2
months ago), I haven't been getting
approved for any health insurance. I
currently work as a substitue teacher and
get no benefits of any kind. Can anybody
help me?

Insurance carriers vary from state to
state, so what is available here in ga may
not be available where you are. Your
situation will present a challenge. Your
best bet is to find an agent with at least
5 years experience and familiar with the
underwriting rules of several carriers.
If you have been turned down by one
carrier that will make it more difficult
to find coverage.
