Med card question.

Around 3 years ago, I was in a bad place. Going through a divorce and just not taking care of myself. Go in for my med card renewal and get popped for high blood pressure. They give me a 3 month and the whole preaching too about what I need to do.

I find a primary care doctor who puts me on a medication, and I use it as a wake up call to get my ish together. I get my blood pressure down and go in and was told all I could get was a 1 year at the time.

Fast forward 3 years later and I’ve been in great health and even stopped taking the medication I was originally prescribed. I would say I’m in good health and my blood pressure is well within the guidelines.

My question is, will I ever be able to get a 2 year card again? I feel it’s ridiculous that they won’t give me a 2 year because I had a “history” of high blood pressure.
