I have a question about health insurance, specifically I am coming to the end of COBRA and will end up on HIPAA guaranteed insurance.

This is the Federal information page that leads me to believe I am headed into a "high risk pool" in Ohio, and that my pre-existing condition can be excluded from coverage. When I spoke to Humana, they agreed that yes, I would not be eligible for any of their "normal" individual plans, and my only option would be their high-risk pool. I haven't gotten a response from the high risk people at Humana! This stress is not helping my blood pressure.

Drug or Chemo Therapy (Chemotherapy): Still in the initial 6 treatments of TCH pus a clinical trial drug, and those aren't easy.

Procedure or Surgery (Mastectomy): I have a tissue expander and am awaiting reconstructive surgery. I'll have to wait several more months until chemo is over to do this. Can't wait to have that over with!
