I need to know if the the blood thinner "Kumatin" is on the instant denial list for private ins.

from the medical side, if your on coumadin (warfarin) you probably have some cardiac issues going on, which isn't cheap, and would be a big red flag....

I'm no expert here but If nothing else I'd imaging that the need for that sort of medication would be an indicator of a major pre-existing heart condition, and yes that will make them run the other way.

Almost correct. The correct statement is that he will raise your taxes to pay for a new car, house, and a few extra bucks in someone else's pocket!

It depends on why you're taking the medication. Most major medical insurance companies have similar underwriting criteria, but some will rider a condition and still issue a policy, or will determine a rate-up based on your health history,height,weight,age,etc.

There are companies out there that will issue anyone a policy no matter what their health history. I'd contact a local independent agent in your state for the specifics.
