I'm guessing you're male. The number of females with medical histories (an important distinction from "pre existing condition! My daughter is perfectly healthy, but had a seizure [we think from a drug reaction] when she was four, and...) who are thus uninsurable on the private market is not small.
Our current health care system is not a problem for single twenty-something males; that is a win condition in the same sense as a memory allocator that never fragments memory as long as nothing ever calls free().

If she's had continuous insurance, she's not uninsurable.
As I wrote, in many states, insured people can't be turned down when they want to switch.
