They said the only way they could write a policy was one that excluded cancer because of her preexisting condition. I am several years older than my wife and we want to move to the Villages when I retire in 3 years. If we do that, she would have to quit her job here which also provides her health insurance. I would no longer be employed so I couldn't just put her on mine. The only solution that seems to work if the pre existing condition continues, is for us to move there while I am still working (I can work from home), put her on my insurance and then hope she can find a job that offers insurance that she can sign up for so I can retire. Anybody have any other insight into this ?

If you put a search on "medical pre-existing conditions" you will find a plethora of sites to learn about this. I do believe the following link may help you:
