Health Insurance is Out of Control

As of Nov1 we have NONE.
Can't afford the $800 a month with COBRA while on unemployment.
Trying to figure this out is frustrating and confusing.
The paper work is enough to put you in the hospital.

Call your state Dept of ins and ask what comp. are approved to sell in the state. Look at a HSA with the highest deducitbles offered. You need catostraphic coverage in the even you have an long term illness/accident. If god forbid it happens and you have no coverage, you'll have to declare bankruptcy. A high $ ded. HSA might only cost $100/month (I don't know the costs).

To all of you, I am an independent licensed insurance agent in Mass. If any of you have any questions, need explanations, or need help in navigating the muddy waters of Mass Health Insurance, seriously, let me know. This state is so f'd up and they all suck, but the system can be beat.

I'm lucky enough that my boss pays for half of mine(tufts, very basic coverage), he also did some legwork and found a state program that pays for half of my half, ends up costing me 140 a month, the program is called insurance partnership I believe, they base what they pay on how much you make, once Katie gets her new job I'll go on hers as a significant other until we are married since it will be better covereage but at least I have something for now
