Hello /lifechanger community. Long time Farcaster user and $LCT holder here. My story: Less than a decade ago I was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Fabry disease (https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabry_disease). It runs on my mom's side of the family & prevents my liver from making a certain enzyme which breaks down a glyco lipid. As such I now receive infusions of the missing enzyme every other week. My heart & kidneys are monitored closely for deterioration. I also experience a lot of nerve pain & digestive issues as well as chronic fatigue. About 6 yrs ago I moved back to Canada because healthcare costs in the USA were slowly bankrupting me. Even so I still visit friends and family in the US from time to time & purchase health insurance by the day for these trips. Unfortunately the insurance company has done their best to deny payment for a few emergency room visits I've endured. I am happy to answer any questions so people can learn about this disease. Ty for reading. Much <3 @lct @lifer

This is what I used to find that insurance: https://canadatousa.brokersnexus.com/travel-insurance-for-us-citizens-visiting-usa/ I had never realized I was supposed to have a different insurance if I was a US citizen living abroad when visiting the US, I had always just bought the cheap insurance that any other Canadian resident could use. And if you are a US citizen too, then I wonder if that was the issue with your claims? If you're not a US citizen, then that insurance wouldn't apply of course. I think I got a plan that covered pre-existing conditions ,but of course, what happened had nothing to do with that whatsoever.

I am both a US and Canadian citizen, but I'm not sure if that's something an insurance can pull up, is it?
