How to buy Health Insurance after an injury...

First off, this is from the Coach part of me:

IF YOU HAD BOUGHT AN INDIVIDUAL POLICY BEFORE YOU GOT HURT, WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION. TAKE A LAP!!!!

Had to be said. Harsh. This is why you should buy a policy for your healthy family members NOW, before they develop a "pre-existing condition."

Here's six options for the UNinsurable:

1. Find a job with good health insurance.
2. Get subsidized state-guaranteed health insurance if you are NOT HIPAA-eligible.
3. Get state-guaranteed health insurance if you are HIPAA-eligible.
4. Qualify for Medicaid and other income-based programs.
5. Become eligible for someone else's health insurance or Medicaid.
6. Purchase a medical discount card.


How many of you are in a shitty job just for the health benefits?

I'll run thru these 6 options over the next week.
