I know the rules on health insurance. They mainly protect those on group health insurance plans (something us self employed folks don't have the luxury of). State plans do exist, but I don't make anywhere near the kind of money you have to make to qualify for it.

So that would leave me the option of getting a 9-5 and working for someone else. If I had a bad disease, their insurance company couldn't reject me, but they could raise the rates of the entire company. Most of the time the company will find a way to let you go instead of dishing out bigger rates for the company due to you. That is if I had insurance prior to starting, if not, they would simply exclude any pre-existing condition I had.
