How Does Someone Get Health Insurance? 
That is a great question ! There are two good ways to apply for a health insurance policy . The best way is to go to the Affordable Care Act -LRB- Obamacare -RRB- site , WEBSITELINK and shop the plans there . I recommend doing this first , since the Act has a provision in it that allows for many people who qualify to receive discounts on the cost of the policy . These discounts may not be available through other online or private insurers , even for the same plans . The other route is to go to an agent who can help you find a policy that will work for you . Thanks for asking !
