Scan Medical Insurance

Where to get health insurance with a TEMPORARY "preexisting" condition...?

I am angry. I am beyond frustrated. HELP!! In Oct 08' I had a job(medical practice), health insurance, and expecting my first child. In Nov 08' everything came crashing down. My boss(a medical doctor) killed himself, causing the medical practice to close(obviously). This resulting in myself, 7months pregnant, unemployed and uninsured. COBRA was not an option because the entire employer no longer existed.Being 7months pregnant is "pre-existing" and no ins. company would touch me. Besides the devastation and stress of losing my boss/friend/doctor...I also gained unexplainable stress as an uninsured, VERY PREGNANT, case. By the grace of God, I finally got insurance towards the end of december08' by AIM which is a program for pregnant woman needing insurance. 2 weeks later I fell and dislocated my knee. No rehab for knee was possible till baby was delivered, so I lay immobilized, pregnant, and in a wheelchair the rest of my pregnancy. Could this nightmare get any worse....yes! Again, by the grace of God, I gave birth to a healthy, beautiful babygirl in Feb09. Finally I could start the necessary rehab for my knee so I could start walking again...except for one PROBLEM. The AIM insurance ends once the mother gives birth. And GUESS what these greedy insurance companies are re-labeling me....PRE-EXISTING(now due to knee). None of this I would wish on my worse enemies...which happen to be fat-cats of insurance companies. How dare they all deny me care because of something I could not help! Worse of all is, Im not trying for effin handouts...Im willing to pay ridiculous monthly ins premiums, and still Im getting denied...So what now. How can I give the best care to my child, when I barely can walk on the injured leg....They don't care...who does? And icing on the cake....Im working part-time in hopes that full-time will be offered so I can get insurance again..and a patient who can barely speak 3 words of english comes in to my med office today with better insurance than my father who served this country! Now someone tell me whats wrong with that picture......... http://tolong.in/health-insurance.html

2. Welcome to the world of anyone with Diabetes. I was insured through tricare, my dad is in the Army. When I as a dependent turned 23 you loose all your benefits, I have type 1 so no insurance would go near me. You need to look into state care, go to your states web site. You can even call the states healthcare and speak with a social worker. They will be able to give you all of your options. Good luck. you are lucky. Many diabetics can not get insurance or afford the meds that keep them alive.
