It would be illegal in my state for Carefirst/Blue Cross Blue Shield to cancel my insurance because my health changed. This is not to say it hasn't been tried, the state sued them on the HMO side for doing exactly this.

That said, no insurance is any better than the company that issues it. One always assumes a certain amount of risk buying insurance that they won't be able to pay when the time comes you need them to.

"Being employed by a company prevents the insurer from canceling you. "

But it doesn't prevent the company from canceling you! Sickies and old probable sickies are discarded by companies every day for completely "unrelated" reasons.
