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 MedSave.com 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.
