Medical Insurance for full time in the U.S.?

[VST]

Hey everyone I’m currently looking into maybe going full time on road around the U.S and was wondering for those of you that don’t work on the road or does not have a company that subsidizes your insurance what are you doing for coverage? I’m a type 1 diabetic and would need to have some kind of insurance to help cover my prescriptions for insulin and supplies. Anything that’s not outrageously expensive? Any info would be appreciated

Could you define "outrageously expensive"?

My coverage (global) with MAPFRE costs me about USD 5000 a year.

And what kind of coverage does that include? Any pharmacy benefits?

Insulin can cost from $0.03 to $0.49 a unit. I'm down to 12-14 units a day so it's cheap. Price can change a lot by brand.

I very rarely need anything - in much of the non-OECD world pharmacy products are inexpensive so I just pay and leave. If I were to buy anything in countries where prices are high (like the USA) then I can reclaim up to USD 220.
