You would think so, wouldn't you? But in this age of instant information, stuff so easily gets passed around - While paranoia is not one of my many symptoms of my mental illness, I am certain health insurers are all in constant communication - I don't worry about space aliens - I worry about health insurers! And you might never know why you were not hired (or fired for that matter).That's the reason for the extra protection of these new regulations - that are going to be a bear to implement - we were just discussing them again today at work. Lots of confusion, to say the least. The idea is to protect the little folk, but who really knows.
Well, I could write forever on this - it is truly an area I tend to tilt at windmills. You just have to hope that you run into what is I believe the majority of people - those with good hearts.
