The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), while it won't take full effect until 2014-- assuming it survives political vicissitudes till then--will have help, including subsidized premiums even for those up to 3x or 4x poverty level, and no refusals due to pre-existing conditions.

In the meantime, there is the high-risk pool which is in effect now, and perhaps Medicaid. See http://www.healthcare.gov for details; plug in your state and answer a few questions to get more personalized information.
