I applied for health insurance for the first time ever (I'm in my 20s). Apparently I have been denied coverage because I answered 'yes' to whether I've used illegal drugs within the past five years.
I have always been taught not to lie and didn't feel comfortable putting down a dishonest answer. I wrote that I had consumed marijuana sometime in the past five years.
The question now is - where do I go from here? Is it going to be impossible for me to be insured? I live in Pennsylvania and have health insurance until the end of the month.
