" Please try to get on a group plan of insurance (like at your job)It has been my experience when i didn;t have insurance and needed individual coverage I got turned down by 2 insurance companies b/c of my NF. Now,I am with a group plan. If you are with a group plan they are more likely to accept you no matter what. You must do that. It makes it SO MUCH easier. Good luck. "
