Q: I have been declined for health insurance because I am overweight and have high blood pressure. What can I do?

A: You actually have three factors working against you now: 1) overweight, 2) high blood pressure and 3) previously declined for health insurance. The most serious obstacle for insurance is the third ; the recent "decline" makes you ineligible for most health insurance that would otherwise accept applicants regardless of weight and blood pressure. The immediate solution is to enroll in Celtic Insurance short term medical insurance at www.Celticenrollment.com. Two consecutive 6 month policies will give you a full year of coverage. After the year has passed without any further "declines", other insurance options then become available. Celtic Insurance short term medical insurance is a top quality major medical insurance that allows online enrollment for immediate coverage on the next day. It is available in most states and is the only health insurance plan of its type that allows new members with your specific medical conditions at standard prices.
