Thanks for quoting Harry's response. It seems to lend credence to what my
daughter has heard.

I just did a little search on this issue. Depending on the state, not
only might she have insurance problems, she might also have employment
problems. Not common, but still possible, depending on circumstances. I
would suggest Harry's idea about maintaining anonymity might be best.
There is federal legislation to address this, but . . .

Since John's daughter is already insured under a group policy, she can never
be rejected (or quoted a higher premium) by another group because she is
protected by COBRA.

She *could* have problems with medically underwritten individual plans
though.
