Shaun, I thought Congress outlawed the "pre-exisitng" condition clause, but I guess I'm wrong. I think Florinef and Cortef Tablets are inexpensive. Maybe under $25 for a 90 supply. It is the blood tests and emergency room visits that will send a person without insurance into bankruptcy. I think the standard blood tests (3 times per year) are over $500 each time. I don't know what you do, but have you considered a county or state government job? I know the insurance which most provide does not have pre-exixting conditions clauses. good luck
