Self-pay health insurance for a recent college grad?

It looks like eHealthInsurance. Com is the place to go to quickly compare available policies. One of the key choices your sister will need to make is whether to sign up with a short-term (e.g. Six month) plan to cover her until she gets a job with health care, or a longer term plan, for example if she anticipates that she won't be getting employer coverage in her field.

Short-term plans seem to be considerably cheaper - well under $100 - but are only renewable if she continues to have good health. Long term plans for someone like your sister seem to be in the ballpark of $100-$120, but the details will depend on her circumstances, where she'll be living, and what benefits she wants.

Try Blue Cross in your area - for $55 per month had catastrophic coverage with $250 deductible or for approx $150 per month a $1,500 deductible HSA that covers almost everything in network including preventative.

Before we were covered by employer insurance we went with United Healthcare, which I do believe you can get in IL. It is affordable, especially for an individual. Your sister will have the options of regular co-pay plans or an HSA account.

HSA does have its advantages, the premiums will be lower than with a co-pay plan and each month part of the premiums will go to a debit card that will be used only for medical purposes. The drawbacks are, when you go to the doctor, you will pay a discounted portion of the medical bill. Say there are x-rays etc.That can really add up and your discount will still end up being pretty high.

If your sister rarely goes to the Dr. and she goes months and months without going then the $25 added each month to the debit card will certainly help. I personally recommend the traditional co-pay, even if the premium is a little higher because once you choose HSA, you are not allowed to switch over to co-pay.

Some of these answers seem about right. Since I have been self-employed, I just bought a random plan every year or other year. The reason is because they always jack up my rates.So I don't mind paying ten, twenty, thirty dollars here or there, or getting all stressed out and worried.

I guess one should take it serious on the type, but after they jack it up hundreds of dollars, one wants to switch anyway. Now when you are talking prices, compare the monthly cost. I just happened to know one salesman that changed every few years because they cut off his commission about that time everytime so he always had a new one lined up and ready to sell.

They all seemed to pay about the same and the only thing I was worried about was something really big. When I started out, I thought I better go with a great company and my hundred dollars when to two, three, four, then six. When I knew it would hit eight, I got smart, and all because I thought I was going with a great company.

The fact is, today, with so many claims, they care nothing about loyalty it seems. I will suggest one only because they seemed cheap at the time I used them and that is the only reason that I know of.

Individual health insurance will be perfect for you Individual health insurance is available in many states to individuals and families who either do not have access to an employer sponsored plan, prefer to have their own plan with the individual carrier of their choice, or for those who wish to supplement the employer sponsored plan of a spouse for example to broaden the coverage for themselves or their dependents.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
