in my case, I am a Canadian BORN into Kidney Failure so any Health Coverage I would have to BUY I would be turned down for because of "Pre-existing Health Problems". ...

This is only true if you are looking at private plans.  If you marry your gainfully employed love, or obtain gainful employment yourself chances are you'll wind up able to get insurance under what's called "open enrollment".
Well he doesn't have any insurance yet so I didn't know how easy it would be to get and for me .. in my job .. they turned me down for their insurance because of my "Pre-existing Health Problems"...  :-[ :( :-\
