For anybody with a pre-existing medical condition buying health insurance can be something of a nightmare and, while there are some promises that the ‘discrimination’ against those with pre-existing conditions might disappear following the current Presidential Election, this is almost certainly more political rhetoric than reality. So just how do you go about finding an affordable health insurance plan if you have a current medical problem?

The first and perhaps most important thing to realize is that not all insurance companies are the same and while some will penalize you heavily (or even refuse to cover your condition altogether) others will adopt a much more lenient attitude. So, your search should begin by looking for those companies which view your condition favorably.
