If you are one of the lucky Americans out there that has a stable job with a great company, then you have access to quality health insurance plans for you and your family at a relatively low cost. Those who are enlisted in the military or are active members of the armed forces also have inexpensive insurance plans available to them, too. But what if you are one of the unlucky group of people that are unemployed without health insurance or employed by a company that doesn't offer it, and can't afford to buy an expensive individual plan for preserving your personal health and that of your family?
Naturally if you are old enough or have a qualifying disability, you qualify for Medicare. Medicaid is available to people who do not fit the qualifications for Medicare coverage, but this comes with specific requirements based on the number of people in your family and the amount of income you make. Young members of your family under the age of eighteen are eligible to receive health care coverage under different state funded programs for children. If you are a relatively healthy individual, over eighteen but under 65 and you happen to make a little too much to be eligible for Medicaid, you know that private health insurance plans can be very expensive and carry a lot of limitations in coverage. So what do you do?
The good news is that there are health insurance plans available that will fit your budget and are effective in protecting you and your family's health. You don't have to settle for plans that have high prices, little coverage and numerous exclusions. Many of the large health care companies (for example: Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, United Health, etc) that traditionally only offered group plans to large corporations and businesses that employed a large number of employees. In recent years, many of these insurance companies started offering single plans for people to purchase directly through them.
