Do I need to disclose I've had an abortion when applying for health insurance?

Am I likely not to get coverage because of it?
--------------------
Ignore Mimi. People are ignorant. In answer to your question, almost certainly not... I've had to fill out several health insurance questionnaires, and the most intimate question I've ever been asked is "Do you smoke?" Having had an abortion is quite irrelevant to how much you will cost an insurer, so they don't care. You have NO legal obligation to say "I've had an abortion" if not asked. You're generally obligated to discuss pre-existing conditions. This is not one.
