According to the National Association of Realtors, 28 percent of their members lack health insurance. Generally realtors are independant contractors, and would have to apply for individual health insuance policies. On realtor who was interviewed made about $60,000 dollars a year - a good middle class income. She had cancer and could not qualify for any individual health insurance plans on the commercial markets. I am certain that almost every state has some sort of high risk plan, but of course, these plans are very expensive and they can have pre-existing condition clauses.
However, I also believe that many of the realtors have just not gotten around to applying for health insurance. I understand that it can be the kind of thing best put off until tomorrow. However, it is, of course, better to obtain coverage BEFORE you are diagnosed with a disease or have an injury.
A qualified, local health insurance agent can point you in the right direction, even if it means directing you to a government risk program.

Hillary Clinton & Health Insurance Blog For Health
Senator Clinton Weighs In On Health Insurance and Breast Cancer
FROM THE YAHOO BLOG....
Until we have a cure, our best defense against breast cancer is early detection. With access to proper screening exams, we can diagnose breast cancer at its earliest stages, when it's easiest to treat. Unfortunately, too many women in our country are uninsured and underinsured, and don't have access to important preventive care. As part of our efforts against breast cancer, I support efforts to expand access to quality health insurance, through programs like those that allow uninsured individuals to buy into existing health insurance programs, or those that make it easier for small businesses to offer a comprehensive health benefit to their employees.
