Planning ahead

We are MASA members, We purchased a lifetime membership our 1st year on the road. My late uncle and aunt had had a MASA membership for about 20 years that flew him "home" and to hospitals on 3 different occasions, he had a heart condition when they joined. One thing you should look at on the plans out there is the "pre-existing conditions" clause in the plan description. I also have a serious heart condition which excluded me from coverage, by SKYMED and others. MASA which does cost more, only had a 90 day exclusionary period when the plan went into affect. If you have a on-going medical problem make sure you are covered before signing up.
