We could very easily fill this thread with US healthcare horror stories, but I'm not sure how relevant that would be for the OP. His partner has ME and that is a condition that isn't even recognized as a treatable illness by most US insurers - so pre-existing or otherwise, it wouldn't be covered, as they have no way of coding it - rather like S.A.D.
In no way am I trivializing the significance of ME, but as with ADHD not being taken so seriously in the UK - same applies to ME here, I think you may find.

Thanks for the post. Appreciate your empathy regarding ME, and realisation that, in the most part, medical professionals just shrug their shoulders.
