If he sees a doctor now, during the intro period, if it turns out he has something serious like stomach cancer, his new insurance won't pay for whatever care he needs and he's f*cked anyway. That's what people don't get. What good is it getting a diagnosis of something serious if he can't get his insurance to pay for the treatments? Answer: not much. If he waits until the intro period is over and then goes to see a doctor, then, whatever he or she finds will be covered under his insurance.

How long until the intro period is over?
