Re: Re:United health care???

[Guest guest]

Hey, Cathy, Do you have United Health Care? My husbands Insurance is

changing to United Jan. 1st. I am fighting Prudential(Aetna) now to give me

100% coverage instead of " out of network " . My attorney advised me to wait

'till It changes to United but if THEY are denying MGB then I will keep my

original date!! Thanks! Tami rcb212@...
