I was caught up in the pre ACA health care system trying to find insurance outside of working for a company.
I have very mild Cerebral Palsy and back then, I was in great shape - a part time fitness instructor, had just run two half marathons in an average time, I could pass any of the standard fitness tests for my age etc.
I had one surgery in my entire life - four surgery at 21 12 years prior. I could not get insurance at any price even though they could have given me any fitness test including running on a treadmill with flying colors.
I was making more than enough as a contractor to pay for it.
I looked on the open market last year when I briefly thought about going independent and I could have definitely made the numbers work.
