But as far as regulations go, I know here in NYS that some financial institutions such as the insurance industry have protections for consumers that other states don't. I am secure that my investments from these companies offer protections if they should go under. However I am not sure if that same protection extends to health coverage. <br /><br />My niece gets insurance from her husband's company. She liked their old coverage better and as a result had to change some doctors and make financial arrangements with the doctors she wanted to keep. However, if anything were to happen to her or her family, she would not be able to get medical help outside of her state. It only covers within the state when she comes up for a visit, and her baby gets sick, she's screwed. Of course I can tell her to get a good travel insurance policy.<br /><br />Let's face it, if she needed an operation that a NY hospital or doctor has had great success with, she would be denied that opportunity. I don't think that's fair.<br /><br />What one specific regulation would you like to see happen now?<br /><br />Hope all is well!<br />CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
