What results are folks having getting insurance with major pre-existing conditions?

In my family there is bipolar II and inflammatory bowel disease and possibly obesity (depends on the definition). At least we don't smoke!!

Just the maintenance of our conditions costs ~$2000 a month! Then there is the very elevated risk of hospitalization.

I am wondering if we will even be able to buy a family policy--and if so, pretty scared of what the cost would be!!
