I’m very confused as to finding health insurance since I’ll be self employed soon. Can anyone suggest a health carrier that is easy to get insured and are reliable? Thank you.
I’m really not interested in going online, as have been warned. And I have been online and don’t need a million calls wanting my business. Thanks, but no thanks. I am interested in details and sure information. Like seeing an agent.

A lot depends on your personal situation and what state you live in.

Generally though you will want to stick with a large and trustworthy company like a United Healthcare, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, etc.

Shop around and compare quotes from at least 3 companies to find the best rate. Here is some more info on some thing you should know when looking for self employed health insurance:

Question by auntfran8: Why would a health insurance provider reject someone with a preexisting condition?Does it happen often?
From what I’ve heard and read,this is supposed to be a big part of the present health insurance and health care coverage debate.Thankfully,I don’t know anyone who has this problem.I also know that,debates and all,if Congress passes a health insurance overhaul bill,that it won’t take affect until 2014 or later.

Best answer:

Answer by Steve D
The reason that a health insurance company rejects a person with pre-existing conditions is that the numbers suggest that such a person will have high expenses in the future. Rather than raise the rates on everyone to make sure that all the expenses are covered, which results in healthy people dropping coverage, the insurance company either rejects the person or issues a policy with a no-coverage rider (ie, if your pre-existing condition is diabetes, the policy won’t cover insulin, oral meds, etc.).

Answer by Donald B
The cheapest is to get health insurance through the school. The California universities have a student health insurance plan. You can get a waiver out of it if you are covered by your parents’ insurance.

During the debate about LD 882 Representative Lance Harvell (R-Farmington) spoke out about health care. He claimed that pap smears should not be required by insurance because it means that consumers are paying for other people’s bad health.

170+ Fox News Bias videos at bit.ly Rush Limbaugh definitely owed an apology to Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke for calling her a “slut” and a “prostitute” simply because she testified before Congress in favor of contraceptive coverage in health insurance plans, but when Limbaugh apologized to Fluke today, Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett’s report on the apology left out some key elements of the story, as I show in tis video. The clip I use of Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett comes from a story on Fox News’ March 3, 2012, broadcast of “America’s News Headquarters” (which I have not found available online) The audio I use of Rush Limbaugh’s original February 29, 2012, insult of Sandra Fluke comes from the Media Matters webpage at bit.ly
