My Top Tips
Don't listen to other people's stories.
Everyone has a story about their health insurance. Some good. Some bad. Talk to a licensed insurance agent to ensure you are getting the right answers for your situation (because everyone's is different!).
Don't assume health insurance costs too much.
Find out what your options are before you decide not to get your health insurance. You might even qualify for financial assistance. More people are happy with the cost of their insurance versus those who are not.
Get help with the application.
It is very important that your information is correct so that you are offered the right plans at the right prices. Don't feel like you have to do it yourself and take the chance of making a mistakge.
