I Have Some Medical Issues, Will I Pay More?
Most likely you will, and depending on the medical issue, you may even be denied coverage.
Think about it, there's no insurance company that will issue you a policy if you have a form of cancer that has low survivability rate.
Also, if you are obese and have diabetes, you chances of getting coverage are lower. Even if you get a policy, the costs may be prohibitive.
