As you may know if you by your own health insurance (pre Medicare) it is not transferable from one state to another even within the same company. The companies can and do refuse new customers for pre-existing conditions. One of the Obama changes is suppose to correct this but I haven't heard how or what the companies are required to do.
We bought in 2008 but couldn't move here full time because we had to maintain our Northern residency to keep our health insurance.
Any how anybody know anything new?

On Oct 1, 2013 each state will have a list of health exchanges available for purchase. If the state elects not to set up these exchanges, the federal government will set up the exchanges for them.
These health care plans, that will be made available to the public, can not refuse coverage because of pre-exiting conditions. These plans also will not be allowed to charge women more for their coverage than men, which has been the case in the past.
The coverage that is selected will then be available Jan 1, 2014.
