If you're in Washington State, if you're declined by the insurance company, you can enroll in the State's insurance pool plan.

Answer

Depending on what state you live in.

Answer

In the state of Georgia, yes. If you live in Georgia and apply for individual health insurance, you can be denied if you or a member of your family has herpes and treats it with an expensive prescription. Even if the person was previously covered by the company under a group health plan.
