The US is really messed up when it comes to health insurance, especialy if you have a preexsisting condition. To be honest in the states health care is really only for healthy people. And if you do want insurance you are looking at anywhere from $60(if you have great health) to $246 per month. I have insurance right now, but in August it will end and I cannot find any insurance company that will carry me. In my opinion if you do not get health coverage from an employer and you have a peexsiting condition you mine as well stay in Canada beacuse it will be almost impossible to get health coverage. Best of luck
