Medical discount plans -- don't buy one!

Here is a story, running in Virginia, about the pitfalls of medical discount plans. Some unscrupulous insurance agents are selling them to people who either cannot afford or cannot qualify for a real health insurance plan. These shady agents refer to their discount plans as "health insurance" when these plans are clearly NOT health insurance. The link to the story is here. The story is relevant to Arizonans -- this article mentions an Arizona company that was (or still is?) selling these discount plans and ripping off the public.
