Anyone know of anyone who is in a state insurance fund/pool that received ADR coverage? Not State employee.
When I refer to state ins fund/pool..I mean the last resort for people whose COBRA has run out or who has been canceled by their private insurance etc?

I know someone in the CA Risk Pool. It's not great coverage, costs a lot, and has a relatively low cap. But...it's insurance and that's where it's at. Also, my friend's w/Kaiser and there's a good mail-order rx plan.
Try here as you're anywhere.  http://www.healthinsurance.org/riskpoolinfo.html

No ADR for her. Here you have the option of Kaiser, BC, Blue Shield, and maybe someone else. It depends on the carrier. Check with your state. Now if you get Aetna it could work. But maybe others are covering ADR. Have you looked into clinical trials e.g. Kineflex vs. Charite in LA, etc.?
Good luck, ans
