Or the plan that you buy because your agent TELLS you it covers everything you wanted doesn't actually cover any of that stuff?

they won't even let me pay for health insurance... pre-existing conditions... unless you have a job that provides it, your screwed

mine covers the routine stuff and not if anything goes wrong. 1 trip to have the dr glance in my baby's ear and tell me it's "immaculate" costs 80 smackers.
