How to get individual health insurance in US as a new immigrant

How to get individual health insurance in US as a new immigrant?
I will be moving to the US next week and am shopping around for individual health insurance. I am shocked that all the companies I have tried to apply at so far require applicants to have lived in the United States for 1 or more years.

How are immigrants supposed to get health insurance?

Your best bet will be to find a worldwide international travel health insurance company and get a plan from them for a year or so until you are eligible for a regular US individual health insurance policy. Here is some more information on international travel health insurance plans:
