Choosing a health insurance plan is highly individualized. A high deductible plan may make sense for a relatively healthy person with few medical issues, while a more traditional plan may be appropriate for someone with more complex medical issues. We are happy to share the contact information of helpful health insurance agents. If you plan on purchasing your insurance on the exchange you could consider a high deductible plan for your needs. There are also several private plans available to cover unexpected emergencies.

In addition to traditional insurance, there are faith based and non-faith based, voluntary, healthcare cost-sharing ministries that are acceptable options to meet the individual mandate for health cost coverage in the Affordable Care Act. They include
Liberty HealthShare, www.libertyhealthshare.org (855) 585-5237,
