    You are in the same boat with a lot of other people. At least you will have Medicare in 3 years. Many people are 20, 30, or 40 years away from Medicare and without health insurance.

    Unfortunately, under the American system of health non-care, your cancer is considered a “pre-existing condition” and private insurance generally will not pay for future treatment. You are effectively uninsurable.

    Your best option may be to call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 and ask about health care and government programs in your state. If you are fortunate, you may qualify for Medicaid or a state managed high risk pool.

    Best wishes. Good luck.

    Have you looked at AARP’s insurance programs?
