Thanks for the reminder, Amy!

I feel with you Ed, My Minnesota "Care" was supposed to be the new solution for very small business and folks that didn't qualify for other insurance. In August 03 we got a letter from the state: we no longer qualify (because they changed the rules) and would not have coverage. The gave us two weeks to find something else! (the great state kicked some 10,000 people off all at once). We did find something short term and now my wife went back to full time work at a company with full benefits and took me on even with my history. I completely know what you mean about feeling exposed.

Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
