Default denied health ins because of miscarriage?

Hi all...

I have posted a couple of times in the last few days. Thank you for your
replies. Obviously we are scrambling to get things taken care of.

I'm almost 5 weeks pregnant, and my husband lost his job (on his birthday) 2
days before we found out about this pregnancy. We absolutely in no way can
afford the cobra plan, and are now applying for individual insurance (just
for me because of this pregnancy). But I have had a miscarraige in the
past... My question is... Will that miscarriage (4 months ago) mean I
could be denied health insurance? All I've heard is that they can't hold
pregnancy as a pre-existing condition.

Thanks.
