I know BCBS is not a charity and I am not looking for/asking for charity, by 
any stretch of the imagination, but *thanks* for assuming I was. I was hoping 
for a reasonable rate and a shorter waiting period. No free ride. No attempt 
to screw over anyone. Just coverage I can afford so I can get the surgery I 
need and have health insurance in general. 

Not asking a lot.
