How to get on (and stay on) the uninsurable list..

1. Be born with congenital cataracts in 1963.
2. Have multiple eye surgeries in the 1960's (before lasers were invented) to remove cataracts (starting around age 2).
3. Become blind in right eye from those eye surgeries.
4. Ingest meat & dairy products from animals who ate feed contaminated with PBB, a flame-retardant chemical used in plastics, for over a year before you reach the age of 11. (However, responsible parties assert that this left virtually no adverse health effects on animals or humans. For more about this see http://lynzen1.blogspot.com.)
5. Have over 20 surgeries by the time you are 45: 9 eye surgeries, 5 knee surgeries, 1 surgery to remove a quarter from the stomach, 1 appendectomy, 2 surgeries to remove ovarian cysts, 1 (combined) hysterectomy/tubalectomy/oophorectomy, 1 surgery to sew a thumb tendon together, 1 surgery to remove an abscessed cyst and numerous abdominal adhesions, and finally another surgery to remove numerous abdominal adhesions, and more to come.
