I own my own company and I have yet to find an Insurence to cover me. They all say they will until we get to that "banded question "

Bump

I just opened up my own business , so I had to drop my Insurence. I can't seem to find an insurance company that will cover me now that I have had the surgery . I'm 9 months post op , has anyone else went through this?? Blue cross paid for the surgery but say I'm to big of a risk now that I have had it ????

They pulled it up on my Insurence claim file. They found it three wees after they agreed to give it to me.
