I have insurance now, but am not happy at the job I am at so was actively looking for private health insurance. I got in contact with this rep. that was very helpful. But, after finding out I have IC (and endo) there weren't very many options. Like you said, no one accepts you b/c it is considered a high risk condition. The few options that I did have were so unbelievable expensive. Sorry I don't have any advice, but I wanted to subscribe to this thread in case anyone else comes on here with any other insurance suggestions. Good luck.
