50. That is exactly what I need -

Can you tell me where you saw the link to the friendly insurance agent? I need to get the letter from one refusing coverage (or refusing to cover my pre-existing condition) so I can get a PCIP. I live in a state where it's administered by the Feds (VA). Also, I have a limited time frame to get this done... I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks!
