HEALTH HISTORY EXAMPLE
Health History Example
Medicare open enrollment is a six month period which includes the three months before and after a consumer’s 65th birthday. In many cases, it is advantageous for seniors to purchase a Medicare supplement policy during their open enrollment window. Under certain circumstances, consumers who allow their six month window to expire may not medically qualify for a supplemental plan.
Guaranteed Eligibility at Age 65
Medicare qualified seniors are guaranteed eligible for insurance during open enrollment regardless of their health history. Health underwriting is not necessary and there are no medical questions to answer on an application. All Medigap insurance plans offered in the applicant’s state will be available for purchase. Simply put, insurance companies cannot deny Medigap coverage if application is made during the six month time-frame.
Other Guaranteed Periods of Eligibility
There are other time periods of guaranteed eligibility for Medicare supplement insurance for those outside of their six month window. Consumers age 65 and older who are involuntarily losing group health insurance or group supplemental coverage will also be guaranteed a Medicare supplement plan. However, they may have to go through underwriting for certain plans (Plan J for example) and they might not be offered premium discounts on their plan choice.
Additional Advantages of Purchasing Coverage in Open Enrollment
There are many supplemental insurance providers who provide discounts during open enrollment. In some cases, the applicant’s price reduction can be as much as 15%. This savings will carry over into subsequent years helping to keep premiums lower as the insured grows older. Additionally, some insurance companies will require underwriting for popular supplements, like Plan J, if the applicant is more than three months past their 65th birthday. If applying during open enrollment, health underwriting will not be required for Plan J.
Medicare Disability and Open Enrollment
In some states, acceptance into Medicare disability is a qualifying event for guaranteed coverage. Consumers under age 65 who are approved for government disability will have a six month window to purchase a Medicare supplement regardless of health history. (Missouri is one such state.) It is very advantageous for Medicare disability consumers to enroll in a plan during their six month opening. Otherwise, they will have to go through medical underwriting and acceptance would be unlikely due to health concerns.
In summary, seniors near their 65th birthday and disabled persons eligible for Medicare coverage should consider applying for supplemental coverage. Applying during a period of open enrollment will render underwriting unnecessary, allow for more plan choices, and also offer premium discounts.

Is the fact that liberals have led congress into the greatest quagmire in American political history, in spite?
of having unassailable super majorities in both chambers and their moon-bat in the oval office, a good example of what great leaders they are. Where’s cap and trade? How’s that free health care working out for you. Aren’t the American people grooving on all the hope and change?
For anyone who really thinks that President Obama caused the recession I have great news. Once the Health Care Bill is passed it will also cover treatment for your mental illness. Just try to hang on a little longer!

Health History Example
A friend of mine was telling me today of a story recently, it was about a girl that was not allowed into a playground/play area at a friends birthday party because she was 1 inch too tall or something to these affects, and because she was too tall, for health and safety reasons I can only assume.
This country, along with America is verging on madness when it comes to political correctness and health and safety regulations, along with the new hobby of suing everybody and everything you possibly can, its outrageous! For instance, I have heard that it is politically incorrect to refer to a chalk board as “black board” as it maybe seen as racist, for goodness sake, it’s a board that is black and hence a black board, its crazy! Another example is the phrase “nitty gritty”, anyone would have thought that was just a normal saying, but no, its not politically correct to say it as it refers to the times of the slave trade, John Denham, had the misfortune of discovering this in 2002! Furthermore, I seem to remember that some Christmas parties were banned in fear of offending non Christians! It hardly can be believed!
Changing the topic slightly, another colleague and I were having a discussion, and to put it briefly we were discussing whether or not it was racist to call people from Pakistan, “Paki’s”, to many it appears racist, but surely, is it any different from calling the British “Brits”. There is not a right or wrong answer with this, its all just opinions and different takes on life!
I seem to remember a story of an American women who spilt coffee on herself and scalded herself and so sued (and won) the cafe/shop where she had bought it from and as a result these days when you buy a take away coffee, you’ll notice there are always labels saying “contents maybe hot” or something to that affect. Lets face it if the women’s coffee had been cold then she’d have to be pretty disappointed, when you order a coffee you’d expect it to be hot! Then there was also the case of an American (again) man who was on the highway, when he put his vehicle onto cruise control, only to stop driving and do something else, when crashed as expected, he sued the company as it did not clearly say that cruise control did not actually drive the car for you….another example of how this modern world has gone crazy, 20 years ago, the judges would have just laughed if a case such as this had come along! What is happening to this world, slowly but surely its becoming farcical!
Anyway, you may be wondering what the point of this article is, the point is that the United States Along with England is slowly drifting into insanity, what can we do about this, absolutely nothing, the only alternative it seem…. emigrate!
