Is this really the Golden Rule?
Somehow I don't think the McCain Health Care Program would do a thing to stop things such as this from occuring.
When the Golden Rule Insurance Co. rejected her application for health coverage last year, Peggy Robertson was mystified.
"It made no sense," said Robertson, 39, who lives in Centennial, Colo. "I'm in perfect health."
She was turned down because she had given birth by Caesarean section. Having the operation once increases the odds that it will be performed again, and if she became pregnant and needed another Caesarean, Golden Rule did not want to pay for it. A letter from the company explained that if she had been sterilized after the Caesarean, or if she were over 40 and had given birth two or more years before applying, she might have qualified for coverage.
