How old are you? What is your zip code because plans are different depending upon where you live. Are you disabled? Do you have final stage renal disease or are you a Type 1 diabetic. These two conditions will prohibit you from acquiring any private insurance, as far as I know.
I am NOT a licensed insurance agent, however, I have am a licensed SHRM former SVP of Human Resources for a large investment bank. I have a brain tumor and am currently disabled so if I were you, I would call HUMANA, Blue Cross and Bliue Shield, as well as United Healthcare. All have websites that will direct you to a licented insurance agent in your area. They also all have toll-free numbers, and depending upon your states licensing requirements, they may be able to answer your questions over the phone or will refer you to an agent in your area.
Good Luck!!
