Arthritis, Health Insurance and You
Although most of us know someone with arthritis and are familiar with it on some level, what you may not know is that there are over one hundred different types. The most common types are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and while they are very different from each other, there are a few things they have in common. In both cases, sufferers experience a great deal of joint pain due to inflammation. They are also both classified as pre-existing medical conditions, which could disqualify someone who suffers from either of these conditions from receiving health insurance coverage. If you have been denied health insurance, however, there are still a few alternatives to consider.
