No, actually it's not. If you're in the individual health care market you are totally fucked. They will simply refuse to sell you coverage or cancel your coverage for arbitrary reasons. Under a group policy you have some reasonable protections and guarantees, but as an individual it is impossible to obtain true health insurance for any meaningful definition of the term. I speak from experience.

I concur, not from personal experience but from that of friends.
That on top of the article about rescission that was in here yesterday, should make people think. You insure against catastrophic losses. It defies logic that the insurance companies should be able to retroactively cancel your policy.
