Default Health insurance quotes.

I have been looking to purchase health insurance for myself. I am unemployed and don't like having no health insurance.

Anyway I was doing some research and there are some places online that allow you to get quotes from many differant insurance providers.

Here are some of the quotes I got for myself.

Aetna Plan Type: PPO Deductable $7500 Coinsurance 20% Office Visit $30 deductable waived cost per month $129

One Blue(Blue Cross Blue Sheild) Plan Type HMO Deductable $500 CoInsurance 20% Office Visit $30 with deductable waived Cost per month $511.69

As you can see you have all of the information that you need to make a good decision based on cost and whatever else meets your personal needs. Take some time to research whats available and to check your budget.

I also have no health insurance but there are options out there for those of you need insurance and have a limited income, there are free clinics out there that you can go to. And other places that take people that do have few resources. But that doesnt do a thing for you if you need to be hospitalized.

There are also prescription services out there for you where you can get your prescriptions at lower prices at some stores like Walmart, etc.

Look around, and just dont go with the conventional insurance companies, there are smaller companies out ther that might give you a far better rate.

Most hospitals have a form that u can fill out to help if u have no insurance.

I understand your worry i too have not health insurance , and i just spent
five days in the hospital. so they do understand these things

More so now then before because of the loss in jobs and health insurance.

I have been very lucky that my prymary doctor knows of my insurance
delema and still sees me and helps out by perscribing meds that he has
samples of .
