Canadians - medical coverage while travelling in the US
Woke up the other day and discovered I'm now in my 60s. Not sure where all the time went, but it is what it is... :(
We've been using Pacific Blue Cross for medical coverage and we've had to pay more because of my age but now they want to double the rate because I have prostate cancer (in the lowest risk category, being managed and no surgery needed). Now they want to double the premium because of this however anything related to it will not be covered. Asked them why we would have to pay double the rate now for something that is not covered - that's just what they do with no justification and refer to my age.
Is anyone using another company that is more reasonable? I also have a few other long standing chronic conditions that are excluded but not an issue as they have been well managed for a long time.
