Health insurance with crohn's disease


Sat, August 25, 2018 6:11 AM

Hi all,
appologies if this is not approriate forum to ask the question. If not please direct me where can i get answers for following questions...
I am currently located in Europe and i won a green card, so I am planning to move to USA with my wife in a year or so.
My biggest concern is health insurance and availability of medications considering that i have crohn's disease. Can someone describe what is the process of getting health insurance and what is difference for people with and without Crohn. What is the price of insurance and is it usually paid by employer? Does it cover all expenses and treatments? Is it same in all states or every state has different rules?

My current therapy is Salofalk and Imuran. I also had surgery few years ago removing part of my large intestine.

Thank you in advance.

I have a few questions to ask you, and these questions are regarding the insurance agency for sale. If you can answer these questions for me right now, it would mean a lot to me, honestly.
