This delay is NOT the same as a pre-existing condition, because you wouldn't be paying for the rider during this period either. With a classic pre-existing condition situation, you think you are paying for coverage but your claim gets denied. In insurance, you can't do things like schedule a surgery for (for instance) March, then be uninsured throguh February, and then buy insurance for March, and then be uninsured again. Cindy, not to worry about dislike-mail. (1) I get enough for both of us and (2) email addresses are not published.

Nice re-cap. I was an L&D nurse in rural Texas, yes I went from Boston to Texas and tried to fit in..., so many women and teens came in at full term never having had prenatal care, vitamins etc. Many of them simply had no access due to poverty, even the most religious would have chosen an abortion (they verbalized this not me). Once the baby is born it is really hard to give it up, and adoption in this country is such an onerous process, that many babies went "home" to environments that their Mom's never wanted them to see but there were few alternatives. I'm not a Pro-Abortion advocate, I wish there could always be a happy ending. Please don't send me hate, dislike email either. I'm just glad there is an option for access. Yeah! Nice re-cap.
