Default Where can I get health insurance if?

Where can I get health insurance if I am am a college student? The thing is that I have thyroid problems and I have depression and anxiety as well. And just recently I finished both my medicines and I don't have money to purchase any. They are expensive! Where can I get some health insurance?

Unfortunately, everything you've listed will be considered a pre-existing condition. So, even if you were able to get health insurance (and yes, it's possible that you may be declined flat out), the company would not cover anything related to your pre-existing conditions for at least the first 12-18 months.

If you're without your medications now, you need to look into some other options. For instance, many colleges have a student health center and they may be able to assist you with getting your medication at a reduced rate, or (possibly) even free.

That's not a long-term solution to your problem, though; you should still look into getting health insurance if you can. What's available depends on your location, so it would help if you could at least list a state.
