I have a 'pre-existing' health problem from birth. How would I get cover for that?

Hooray for the NHS I say.

Given that one's arteries do actually start "furring up" from the moment they are first used I am amazed that insurance companies allow any heart/arterial claims at all.

But then living itself is dangerous and could legitimately be decribed as a hazardous occupation.

I discovered I was paying a small insurance against a mortgage some years ago. I enquired why. 'It's in the event of your premature death,' they said.

Define premature death?

'Before you have paid us back.'

The moral is "Do not trust insurance companies" ~ they are there to make money, not to help the suckers who pay their premiums.

Yup, so true; and a sobering tale you tell. In my instance I might have to resign myself to the fact that any knee flare-up just won't be covered. Unlike a holiday where one's advised to take out insurance, this is a work contract which I'll only get if I can show a document showing cover.  rubschin:

No honestly it's fine - I know it's strenous, physically demanding, an exceptional act - but believe in yourself. You can put the lid down  lol:
