You do have to be without coverage for 6 months (risky-but...) You just have to provide proof of being denied by a carrier, proof of citizenship and other basic info. I would be hesitant to leave a job that provided it, bound to be cheaper but if you really want to move this is an option. Don't know your profession but a job making much money and with benefits in The Villages won't be easy to land either. Good Luck!
hlanders, where did you read that change in the new health care bill kicks in July 1? I'm not saying that isn't correct.

The only thing I can find is the pre-existing condition for children goes into effect around Sept. 23, 2010 (six months after the bill was signed). And the pre-existing condition requirement for insurance companies providing for adults isn't mandated until January 2014. That gives the states run exchanges time to get up and running.
