So, I've just been denied health insurance because of my 'history of major depression or neurosis'. Which, you know. Fuck you *so much*, US health care system. Anyone who talks to me about the evils of socialized medicine in the near future is likely to get metaphorically stabbed in the face. Just so you know.

Normally I'd post this in the depression filter, but I actually had a question, which is: the new health care laws say that I can be covered by my parent's health plan until 26. Does anyone know if pre-existing conditions will mean I can't be covered by that, either? I am frankly a bit too freaked out to really concentrate on trying to figure things out right now.

You can probably at least get a major medical plan-- basically it'll cover you if you get hit by a bus, and not much else, but if you *do* get hit by a bus you don't have to worry about bankrupting your family etc. I got mine through Blue Cross Blue Shield; they waitlisted me because I've been treated for anxiety, but ultimately gave me a policy.

Yeah, I'm sure I'll figure something out, and it looks like there's a state plan for people who are a "major risk". But. *Stressful*.
