1st choice should be Aetna...you will have a pre existing condition but ck into it...hopefully that should only mean you have to wait 6 mos or so.

btw..according to Charite's website, Kaiser is supposed to be covering ADR. see http://www.charitedisc.com/charitedev/domestic/patients...r2/docs/coverage.pdf

I don't know your employment or income situation but this was a good read on your problem...see

sorry..I keep thinking of new things to add...one last note: keep your eyes peeled for any new clinical trials that might allow for 2 levels. I myself and hoping activ L will do a 2 level study.
