Here is the link to Kaiser HIPAA rates for California. Subscriber only, age 50-54, $446/mo. I would guess that these rates are subsidized somehow as Virginia's is much higher.

I gather that insurance companies don't like being forced to insure people who are uninsurable.

I am really curious as to why you did not buy your own insurance policy before you became uninsurable. Would that not have been the rational thing to do?

Yes, of course, you would have been paying money for insurance you did not need at the time, but isn't that what risk pooling is all about?

I guess that's why states are creating their own risk pools.
