What are some common preexisting conditions that prevent people from obtaining health insurance?
Alcoholism and drug abuse are usually two conditions that most insurance companies will turn you down for. Others include heart attack or other heart problems within the past five years or so, most companies will not take you if you are diabetic. Many companies will not accept you if you’ve had certain types of cancer EVER in your life, while other insurance companies won’t care if the cancer was more than 20 years in the past. It’s almost impossible to get health insurance if you are currently obese or pregnant. Having AIDS is always an automatic decline, as is a stroke in your recent past. Most companies won’t care if you have controlled hypertension (high blood pressure) or controlled high cholesterol. But if you have BOTH at the same time, there are very few companies that will offer a policy to you.
