		<description>L Jensen, thank you for your comment.

If I interpret your remarks correctly, you are assuming the one posing the question is me. 

That is not the case.

Nor is this a repeat offender . . . someone who has posed another question and now a second.

The questions are those posed by real people who are clients or may one day become clients.

The individual who complained about the delays &#038; issues with carriers requesting doctor notes had stirred the pot before I got involved. This makes it much more difficult for him to find coverage for his wife at any price. His insistence on submitting multiple applications via multiple agents virtually killed the deal.

The matter was already complicated by the fact that his wife was over-medicated as the title &#038; content of the post indicates. In other words, she was taking medication that may not have been necessary for what is usually a benign condition that, in most people, requires no treatment.

In this case, there are no carriers who are willing to take his wife because of the numerous medications which leads the underwriter to believe the condition(s) are more serious than they actually are.</description>

		<description>Let me get this straight - you are having difficulty finding insurance for your wife because she has less than perfect health?(A prior post mentioned her weight as well as her mitral valve prolapse were affecting her insurability).  Hmm, let me quote you from an online statement you made in 2005: 

"No one seems to complain when poor credit risks are charged more for loans than those with good credit ratings. So why do people get up in arms when someone who is in less than perfect health have to pay more for insurance? Guess it depends whose ox is being gored."

Ouch.  It hurts when your own remarks come back to bite you. I never get angry at people when the become judgemental of other's situations - it always comes back to haunt them.</description>
