In 1946, Congress passed a law that gave hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities grants and loans for construction and modernization. In return, they agreed to provide a reasonable volume of services to persons unable to pay and to make their services available to all persons residing in the facility’s area. The program stopped providing funds in 1997, but about 300 health care facilities nationwide are still obligated to provide free or reduced-cost care.

Financial Assistance and Other Resources for People With Cancer:Cancer imposes heavy economic burdens on both patients and their families. For many people, a portion of medical expenses is paid by their health insurance plan. For individuals who do not have health insurance or who need financial assistance to cover health care costs, resources are available, including Government-sponsored programs and services supported by nonprofit organizations. Cancer patients and their families should discuss any concerns they may have about health care costs with their physician, medical social worker, or the business office of their hospital or clinic.

Assuming you're trying to get the diabetes covered, you'll have to go through an employer's group plan, and just wait out the pre-existing condition period - which can be 18 months to 2 years.
There are some guaranteed issue health insurance indemnity plans that are available to you depending upon where you live. These plans have limited benefits but are much better than any discount plan.
You will want to visit a local independent agent. This person knows the market in your area and will be able to find a suitable plan for you.
I can get you on a large group plan with a top carrier if you can afford $725 month and have a business to advertise.

Most of the other people have stated these but in summary, try
a plan from work,
your state risk pool,
Limited Benefit plans,
and discount plans,
The trick is how much can you pay... Sorry but it usually comes down to that.
