Can You Explain a Little More? Posted: 11-17-06 11:18am
It would help if you could explain what
happened with your state health insurance
- was it cancelled for non-payment, did
the company stop offering the coverage, or
what? By law, each state must provide at
least one health insurance plan for
individuals who are essentially
uninsurable (unless they happen to be
under a group plan, which, since you're
self-employed, I assume does not apply).

Existing Medical Conditions Make It Hard to Find Posted: 12-04-06 20:19pm
Hello,
unfortunately, with your pre-existing
medical conditions, finding a company that
will cover all your healthcare needs will
be difficult. There are several
companies out there like humana, but they
will definitely waiver any existing
medical conditions, if they agree to cover
you at all.

Alternative to Health Insurance Posted: 01-11-07 17:05pm
I know it's been a while since you posted,
so hopefully, you've found health care
coverage. If not, have you checked into
the various discount health care plans?
There are several out there. Of course,
they are not at good as health insurance,
but they will save you $$. I have one
of them, just because health insurance is
too expensive.
Good luck.

hmm since you are self employed...as long
as you have two full term employees (if
you have a spouse perhaps a co ownership)
you can qualify for group health insurance
which takes all health conditions (even
cancer) it doesn't matter whether you have
had it already or not.
I live in California and had a friend who
had a similar problem.

Loads of information and other stuff for
you to check and do.
