Sounds like the problem was the broker. HI plans can definitely be limited (short-term?), but what did the broker tell you?
He told me that I could go to the doctor for my leg- I had fallen and was experiencing swelling. He said he would speak with benefits and get it covered - I never heard back so I cancelled. Two months later they started taking payments out again. BBB put a warning out (should have checked it out prior) Hundreds of complaints
