Does anyone know the deal with the new universal health care and those of us who haven't been able to get insurance because of weight and/or other medical issues? I saw some things are going into effect within 6 months the rest of the changes will start in 2014.

In 6 months they will have a "high risk pool" set up that you can buy in to. How it works, who's eligible, how much it'll cost and what it will cover - I have no idea.
But then, theoretically, in 2014 we SHOULD be good and Insurance cos. won't be able to deny us coverage. theoretically.

They can't refuse to cover you due to preexisting conditions as of 2014. They can't refuse babies because of preexisting conditions in 6 months.
And folks can stay on their parents' insurance up to age 26, as of now.
