This may be some what off-tangent, and i don't want to sound whiney, but Rhea Dorn's words above highlight something i feel strongly about: Insurance companies (in all their incarnations) should not be a profit motive venture.

Wish i had a solution! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Peace from the Clouds" \--*MH*--/ Jeffrey Romanyshyn Email: [log in to unmask] "Myth Hawk" 28/Diagnosed 3yrs/Sinemet CR 2x/Sinemet 10/100 as morning booster/Eldepyrl 5mg 1x/Homeopathy Treatment Myth tells us where we come from, who we are, and where we are going.
