It's not really the first place you think of, but associations and unions often times offer insurance, or discount prescription plan to members.
Keep in mind, this means you have to pay the association fee to join, and then actual insurance premium. But this is just another way you can gain insurance, even if you've been rejected by private companies.
Some associations have stringent membership requirements, while others let you in upon membership fee. Word of caution, however, always thoroughly research the association and the insurance.
Some associations with benefits include:
