Has anyone here found any quality and affordable individual health insurance?

Question:

Answers:
I’d check out Consumer Reports (link below), America’s Health Plans (link below), and whatever other informational resources you can find. I’d also talk with locally licensed health insurance agents. I’ve also included a couple of articles about choosing a health plan that might be useful. They are government-authored, but they’re actually pretty good.

Affordable can mean what you can pay month-to-month or what can help shield you from a really expensive illness or medical procedure. For example, I’ve spent money on health insurance for over 10 years and have had only two non-routine doctor visits. My sister, on the other hand, has unfortunately had to use her insurance a lot. The bad news is that insurance prices are increasing and fewer and fewer employers are offering it to their workers. The good news is that you have a lot more options in health insurance than you used to. Just remember that the more you pay monthly, the less you’ll pay out-of-pocket before the insurance company picks up the bill. And, of course, the less you pay monthly, the more you’ll pay before the insurance company helps you out.

Two new plans aimed at twentysomethings are popular right now – but you don’t have to be in that age group to join. They are “Tonik” from Blue Cross Blue Shield and “Sound” from UniCare. They have low premiums and high deductibles, but they can also include dental and vision for a relatively low amount of money. Regular doctor visits are also included. In less than two years, Tonik has become the second most popular BCBS health plan in California. The only problem is that they are not available nationwide yet.

You should try visiting MostChoice.com. It’s a Web site that helps you shop for health insurance. They have free instant price quotes and policy information on health plans near you, but their specialty is getting you in touch with state-licensed agents. There’s no cost or obligation to buy insurance. You just fill out a short form and wait for the agents to contact you (within 48 hours). Have your questions ready and let them work until one of them delivers the plan that’s right for you. You might want to have a set amount you want to spend each month on insurance and tell the agents to work within those parameters.

Is there such a thing?

No I'm in the same search myself. I've been with Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield for a couple of years now and the price keeps escalating. I'm in the process of trying to change jobs, hopefully one that comes with a health insurance package. It is much too expensive to pay out-of-pocket for.

I have good coverage but it's not for everyone, I also work for a large company so that helps. I pay just under $200 a month for my husband an I, and I chose an HMO just because of our current situation, even though the PPO would have cost the same.
