My husband is self employed, and Blue Shield is the best we came up with.

Individual Care Blue or IC Blue is a decent Blue Cross plan. If you are healthy then check out Humana.

Try a local insurance Agent. Some states have different options than others.

Good and health insurance are oxymorons……I wish you luck.

Go on the Internet for health Insurance and ask
for more information to read in details and choose the best for you and I recommend Blue Cross Blue Shield.

The self-employed CAN have lots of options. Individual and Family coverage is offered in all states and can be more affordable than most people think. In most states you’ll have a choice of PPOs, HMOs, and HSAs (HSAs are high deductible health plans tied to a Health Savings Account, which operate much like an IRA).

I know that first paragraph had a lot of acronyms, but that’s the nature of health insurance. You may want to consider finding an local agent who can help you out. A good agent can match your unique needs to the plans offered in your community. My recommendation is to find an agent that represents multiple plans so you get more choice.

If your in California, you may want to check out http://www.InsuranceNeighborhood.com. Not only can you compare rates and benefits from several plans, but you can find a local agent who has qualified to be in their network. Outside of California you might want to try http://www.InsureLane.com. Another source for agents is http://www.NAHU.org, the national trade association for agents focusing on health insurance. Go to the Consumer Information tab and click on the “Find an Agent” link.

I’m sure someone will recommend a medical discount card. Be very careful about these. They are NOT insurance. There’s no limit to what you might need to pay out-of-pocket. And be very sure your current physicians and local hospital work with the discount program you’re considering.
