Yup, that's the case.  First I tried to get private disability and
health insurance - both were declined due to treatment for depression.
Then I tried a group policy for R.E. brokers.  They declined me for
disability, I'm waiting to hear about Major Medical.  I also just
applied to a company that specializes in short-term major-medical. I'll
let you know what happens.  

Massachusetts isn't half as enlightened as Georgia in terms of
insurance laws.  The insurance companies here insure that Mass. has the
best legislature that money can buy.
