I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which I assume will be considered a pre-existing condition. So if what you say is true I probably would not be able to find insurance coverage if I move to FL. I really want to be a FROG in TV, but not an uninsured FROG even for 6 months. Sounds like as far as heath insurance companies are concerned only healthy people are welcome in FL. OR very wealthy ones who can self insure.

The healthcare law is supposed to guarantee coverage to everyone starting in 2014. Go to the website healthcare.gov which explains when these laws go in effect. I am planning to Cobra with my company in 2013 and move to guaranteed coverage in 2014. Of course there is a lot of talk of about repealing the healthcare plan but I think guaranteed coverage for everyone will stay with any new plan. JMHO
