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?

I have 4 links to plans on that page.
Most major US health insurance companies require a person to have lived in the US at least 6 months to 1 year.
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:
