Why don"t you try for medicaid, unless you're way over $17,000 for 1 person. Under Obama care you can't be turned down for pre-existing conditions, and you can get help paying for the insurance you need

When starting a new full-time job that offers health insurance, does the health insurance start right away or is there a probationary period before it kicks in. Serious question. If I recall you have to work for a certain amount of time before it kicks in, 3 months sounds right.

Have you checked into being a candidate for knee surgery at University of Iowa for their students? I have no idea what that would entail but you've got time to find out.
Good luck Are you suggesting he donate his body to science?? Now that would be something......

Get the procedure done and then file medical bankruptcy when the bill come like everyone else does. Who knows, maybe the sleepy creeper with make healthcare free pretty soon. (Sarcasm for those that can't tell)

So that's out if you already know that and checked on it. I guess it's time to get a spine and get a full time job with benefits then and quit playing the whoa is me card. You'd also make more money. How do you know all insurance won't pay for pre-existing conditions? You haven't had any for years due to your own choices. Have you been to a Dr. to get your knee diagnosed or is it a self diagnosis? If you haven't had insurance you haven't went right?
