your best bet is to find a job with a company that provides health insurance through work. Then the insurance company can’t discriminate because they have a contract with your company to provide a service.

I’m afraid not, unless you get an employee health plan with a defined one-price premium. You might want to hunt for such a position…federal and state government jobs usually have good priced health insurance. Even if you have to take a pay cut from your present position, it sounds like you’d be saving a ton in insurance.
Private insurers peg their premiums based on their risk/expense, and those who are overweight (I am, too) cost insurers more. It’s not discrimination to charge you enough for them to make a profit. It would be discrimination if they refused to insure you, period.
