Anyone can get insurance on anything for the right premium...

I think the question here is who deals with the insurance company. If it's you then you can work these things out or deal with another insurance company. If it's someone other than you I guess you just hope they know what they are doing.
My owner does not deal with maintenance, insurance, FBO, etc because thats my job.
I have started, as PIC, on one turbo prop and three jets with 0 time in type and never had a problem with insurance.
I feel my insurance agent works with me, not against me and I've been with him over 20 years.

I have about 1800 jet PIC.

Ballpark, how much does a FSI or simuflite course cost. How long does it take? Again, for a Citation, Hawker, or Falcon?

Call FSI's 800 number and tell them you are researching type costs for a potential aircraft buy -- they will gladly give you the costs. Also, if you are purchasing a new aircraft or if you go through the manufacturer for a "pre-owned," they (the mfr) usually include two pilot type ratings and one mechanic's training with the purchase.
