Too late for this query, but for anyone else, I've read that when you apply for individual health insurance you should do it with all of your candidate companies at once so that you can truthfully say "I have not been denied" to as many companies as possible. I think you'll be able to get some kind of health insurance in 2014 when Obama-care kicks in. Maybe work a job just until then? You might be able to work/start/research your own company in the meantime, and you'll be free to "build one to throw away." You might talk to all the health insurance brokers you can find. Small companies with health insurance might lead you to them. Also talk to your life/auto/home insurance broker, they might point you to options. EDIT: Is there an association, and/or forums or other groups for you condition? They may have found ways to get insurance. Does your condition have some sort of government fallback support?
