The high rates have far less to do with the new health care law than you may think. HIPAA "fixed" the issue with GROUP insurers denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, but provided better sharing of data. For the most part, HIPAA does not address individual policies.
Did you try looking into group coverage? Some professional organizations allow you to join and have better rates.
