[snip]

I had a 3-month exclusion
period where I could not be seen for anything related to my medical
condition.  They even denied giving me results for a blood test from
December until February when the exclusion period ended that showed I
was
moderately anemic.  I could have really used that information.

Wonderful. And what if those results they denied you had shown you had a
condition that was fatal if not corrected immediately? I can't believe
how these organizations are so caught up in procedures and bureaucracy
that they would put a person's life at stake. Is there any type of legal
recourse one has in a case like that?
