What are the best health insurance options for independant business owners?

We Answered:

She needs to go to her local agent that writes the rest of her insurance, and ask them for an individual health insurance policy quote. That's the ONLY way for her to go!!

Sonia Said:

What health insurance options are available to someone who has health problems and needs insurance?

We Answered:

Medicare does not take her assets, but she needs to be 65 or disabled to qualify.

You might be thinking of Medicaid, which is the state ran program for low income people. You have to qualify by having low income and low assets but they don't take the assets either. You can look up Medicaid for your state on the internet to see if she qualifies.

There are some guaranteed issue plans available so you should call an independent agent to see if something is available in your area.

what are health insurance options for foreigners in the US?

We Answered:

A non-US citizen can get a regular insurance policy here in Florida as long as they have been a resident for one year. No ss# is now required. Has she been here one year? The insurance company will require proof such as a utility bill, bank statement etc. If she has been here in the US less than one year she will need travel insurance. See some websites below.

What are the best health insurance options for retired pre-medicare folks?

First, I would check with your state insurance department or health and human services department to make sure there isn’t other state-sponsored programs that can assist you (link below). Medicaid is the obvious example, but you generally have to make less than $13,200 for a family of two (link below). You might want to check out Benefits Check-Up, a free service from the National Council on Aging. When you visit the site, you can answer a few questions and find out whether you are eligible for government programs (link below). Needy Meds is an excellent resource for discount drug and treatment programs (link below). As for private insurance, your best bet is to do what you’re doing now and try to find out what people in your situation are doing.

To get a good overview of what health insurance is like where you live, you should talk with more than one state-licensed health insurance agent. In minutes, they should be able to answer your questions about affordable private insurance. MostChoice.com is a good place to start. There’s no cost or obligation to buy anything; you fill out a short information request form, send it in, and within two days local agents should contact you. Tell them what kind of coverage you want and how the price range you’re looking for, and let the agents do the rest. Talking with more than one agent increases your chance to find what you’re looking for (and encourages healthy competition for your business).
