It gets worse. That is actually the policy the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School offers to their medical students. As was noted, the pilot exclusion was only one of a number of undesirable policy features. I have found lots of other options for a young healthy pilot medical student that don't have the pilot exclusion or any of the other ridiculous limitations. Egregious behavior like this by insurance companies is what is driving this country toward socialized medicine. But I digress, just thought the "caveat emptor" should be shared.

I was aware of exclusion on life insurance policies for private pilots and scuba divers but this health insurance policy underwritten by UnitedHealthCare caught me by surprise. See exclusion #27
Add "review health insurance policy exclusion" to another CHECKLIST
