Caught in that US corporate health care trap! Since you say you don't have a pre-existing condition, then it behooves you to avoid acquiring a long-term medical care condition (take care of yourself).
At some point you just have to realize that the US healthcare system is a crock - for profit corporate care, more concerned with providing share-holder equity than health care to the folks paying the premiums.
Just walk away, and don't look back. Your best bet is to hope that in the next decade American's figure it out and go with a universal health coverage system. For all the money the corporations are paying on employee health coverage, all the money the individual is paying in premiums, co-pays, and non-covered expenses, we can probably create as good a system as the health insurers are providing. After all, nearly half of all dollars we pay into the system don't go for health care, but for clerks to process paperwork. Unfortunately, they'll be out of jobs, but then again, so are auto workers, iron workers, textile workers...
I faced the same situation (with no prior conditions either, but nearly twice your age), and decided "health insurance" shouldn't run my life. F**k the corporations.
