all insurance carriers HERE exclude for pre-existing conditions. And, of course, neither of us is naive, especially the larger carriers are more than capable financially assuming the risk, they simply dont want to. We also understand that most insurance companies dont make large profits based only on the premium payments they receive.
It's the game of insurance carriers, cover if they think someone might not be much of a risk, dont cover if they are. It's just the way it is when health care is a "for profit" system, which in Thailand, for Thais, and so many other countries, health care is provided. The US is a shameful example of not doing that until Medicare can kick in, but even Medicare is sadly lacking in some areas, and a surprise to many, not completely free.
