Private health insurance suggestions for the fat and sick? I'm looking for suggestions of companies that others have had luck with.
I've been out of work since September 2008. My husband just got laid off so we lost our insurance coverage through his job.
COBRA would cost us $846/mo which is almost more than I get MONTHLY in unemployment.
The unemployment rate where I live is at 7.3% right now, so the chances of DH getting a job quickly are pretty slim.
I'm overweight (past morbidly obese on the BMI scale) though I'm steadily losing. I've got high blood pressure and need to take medication for it. I JUST started being treated for my PCOS so I've got that on my medical record.
What do I do? I've been denied Medicaid (obviously) because I'm not pregnant, don't have kids, not on disability and am under 65.
Has any one had or know of success with any specific companies?
My state does offer a state backed sort of healthcare coverage - BUT they won't let you on it unless you've been 6mo without insurance.
The health care system in our country is SO beyond messed up it's not even funny.
Sorry for the ranting, but I'm looking for some sort of guidance or suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
