Well, I'm taking a chance! I went ahead and applied to Aetna for a policy. Before doing so I spoke with a customer service person first. Due to the fact that I am on 3 meds he said they might reject me. But I am giving it a go. Also given the fact that I have a preexisting condition that is not resolved they might not accept me. The application process took me almost all day to complete since you have to disclose a 2-year history. We will see... The base price that they quote is $177 per month with a $2500 deductible but they also disclose that rate may be 25% to 50% more.
