Rhodeislander, I am very familiar with what you are going through. Had a job in Ohio with medical (BCBS) - quit my job to move to TV. Went on Cobra and it ran out in Feb. Have a pre-existing condition.
After several insurance companies denied me coverage, I did a conversion policy with Blue Cross/Blue Shield. They had to cover me. I went from no deductible to a $7500 deductible. Also used to pay $30 for 90 day supply of meds. Now I have a $1500 deductible on meds and pay $250 a month after that because one med is not generic. My BCBS is $580 a month but at least I have insurance!
It is not easy to get insurance and I took it for granted when I did have it. Not anymore! PM me is I can answer any questions.
Becky
