Sure it's legal. Recently, we had to buy dental insurance for my aging father when we found out he didn't have coverage at a time when he had some major dental issues. And that is exactly what they did. They said he'd have to have the insurance for 1 year before he could use it for major dental work. They would cover the minor stuff, but no surgery or major dental repair until after 1 year of premiums paid.

That is exactly what I expect health insurers to do to people, if they aren't already. But then again, if insurance was offered on a just in time basis, then no one would carry insurance for the long term and they'd continually game the system, which would put insurers out of business.
