6 months with no insurance for someone who has had cancer twice is a risk we can't afford. You know what I am talking about if you ever saw bills related to chemotherapy and other cancer treatments.

I think I did find something though. With HIPAA a new group policy has to accept her if she can prove she has had continuous coverage with a break of only 63 days or less. On top of that, group coverage can be purchased in Florida if you open a company with as few as 1 employee that will enroll. Therefore, we could open a business and have her get her insurance through the new group policy purchased for the business. That would work I think since we had been discussing opening a business when we moved anyway.
