    I need to get myself some health insurance. Looking for basic health and dental. Is there any company out there way better or worse than others? I am 25, single, no health issues, no family health issues, I havent been in a hospital in well over a decade. 6'-190. I do smoke(8 years ish) but plan on quiting soon =/. I cant think of any other relevant info. What shld I expect to pay?

    getting married to someone whose health insurance will cover you is way less hassle then getting your own. i recommend that.

    gl man. I currently pay wayyyy too much for health insurance for me and my wife through my job. We are looking to get independant plans because we are paying too much for something we don't really use. I think we're paying like 400 bucks a month and we are completely healthy! This stupid plan doesn't even pay a cent on birth control pills (the one drug we buy regularly). Unfortunatly all the plans I've looked at either have ridiculous premiums or or outragous deductables or both! Also most are only 80/20 meaning that you will pay 20% of every medical cost you incur up to a certain amount (usually $4000 or $5000). There are no good options.

    Since you are looking for single coverage, you might have better luck. But I don't know, man. I'm discouraged. Shit.

    Hey Quassi,

    I am a marketer for an annuity organization, I deal with Life Insurance agents all across the country and most of them do health insurance too. My dad is also a Life & Health agent, I will try and find out the best carrier available for you in ur state. I will get a quote ran for you today or tomorrow and pm you will the cost, looks like you just want basic health and dental. Seeing that your young and healthly, you would prolly just need to do a swab test, which will show you smoke, they always request those. I'll get back to you.
