How to get health insurance for senior US resident living in Houston, Texas?

She is 68 years old, has lived in the US as a resident for one year. She is not eligible for medicare or medicaid because she is not in the low income target population and for medicare she has to be living in the US for at least five years. In Texas, like many other states, they don't sell private insurance to seniors. Does anyone know of any kind of insurance that we can buy for her, public or private?

2. YOu are not the only one who met this problem,I have met this type of problem before.I have good experience here http://www.HealthInsuranceIdeas.info to solve my similiar problem.
3. There should be agencies that provide consultations for seniors and disabled in Texas. They could help the person you inquire about. You can find their contact information below: http://www.texashealthoptions.com/cp/seniors.html As from what I know similar consultation agencies have been working quite successfully at other states. You can also check with Area Aging and Disabilities Service if they can refer you to a right direction. And here is another link to online resources that might have information you need: http://www.elderoptionsoftexas.com/index.cfm One more option would be to fill out your information on Medicare website. Go to "find and compare health care plans", and see if you could find some information that way: http://www.medicare.gov/MPPF/Include/DataSection/Questions/Welcome.asp?version=default&browser=IE%7C8%7CWindows+Vista&language=English&year=2010&PDPYear=2010&MAPDYear=2010&defaultstatus=1&pagelist=MPPFHome&MPDPF%5Fzip=&type=ZIPCOUNTY&ExternalSourceID=&MPPF%5FPDP%5FIntegrate=N There is one more website where you might find a lot of valuable information: http://networkofcare.org/index2.cfm?productid=1&stateid=51
