My mother recently got a bit of a health scare recently when she was experiencing some sharp jabbing chest pains. She consulted her doctor who suspected that she might have some slight blockage and asked her to do an angiogram to check it out further.

I guess as seeing as how my mom is a heath freak, it was quite a shock although I don't know why I'm not surprised as seeing as how my grandma had heart problems during her later years. It hereditary it seems.

Anyways, that was a wake up call for my mom and she decided to check out some health insurance plans. It's actually pretty hard to get a health plan here (like the Blue Advantage Health Plan) if you have high risk diseases such as high blood, diabetes or whether cancer runs in your family. I think it's ridiculous because these are the type of people who actually NEED insurance coverage.

It's so weird. Instead, these insurance companies would rather cover people who are healthy as a horse.. I guess less chances for them to actually PAY UP.. I don't know. It just doesn't make sense to me.
