Depending on what state you live, you may be able to apply for temporary coverage for one year. However, I do not believe that would cover pre existing conditions.

Most colleges and universities offer student health insurance plans. Have you inquired there?
In California, students attending either the CSU or UC systems must have personal health insurance or are strongly encouraged to apply for the school's health plan.

Or go to the hospital and talk to them. Often times hospitals have programs, or a department that can work state departments to find funds that can defray the cost of health care. The hospital has a huge interest in helping you find these funds, since they get to collect them. As a college student, do your parents also not carry health insurance? You should be eligible for their coverage.
