Q: I was declined Blue Cross/Blue
Shield, can I ever get health insurance? It has been over one year ago.
A: You may still not be eligible
for the Blue Cross plan if the condition that caused the original
decline still exists. As an alternative, consider some of the health
insurance plans listed at FreedomBenefits.net have more liberal
eligibility requirements. You may find that it is easier to qualify,
the cost is lower, and the coverage is more complete than the Blue
Cross/Blue Shield policy you originally wanted.
