Re: OT: Health Insurance

Thanks!  I wonder if that is a leader price.  They get you in and then bump it once underwriting evaluate the insured.  

Blue Cross just quoted $500 a month, $3000 deductible, 40% of first $10,000.  That is $6000 per year in premiums, and a $7000 max deductible per person per year.

Hi Keith,

Check out this search link with an at a glance quote comparison (using 55 years old for both husband and wife), starting at $187.50 a month.


In my experience your quote was OUTRAGEOUS (shop around)!

Hi,

I am self employed, a little older, over weight, with a history of high blood pressure. 


I do not have health insurance and would like to be able to find a reasonable health insurance plan.

Recently I received several quotes.  $600 a month, $6000 deductible for me and $6000 deductible my wife.  And we must pay 30% of the first $10,000 (each).  These are per year.  Once we pay $10,200 (annual premium + annual copay) of the first $10,000 the insurance kicks in and will pay what is left.


As a result I have decided to go without insurance.  I'd be happy to pay $500 a month for a normal HMO policy. (well not completely happy, I think $500 a month is too high).

Short of building a business that has employees and qualifies for group health insurance, what can I do?


Thank you for your
insight!
