Why Buy Health Insurance Online? 
I actually do n't believe buying health insurance online is a good idea . If you go online and complete the information request you will receive quotes on a multitude of plans from Platinum to Silver , Gold and Bronze from many carriers including HMOs , PPOs and HSAs . In California that could be 50-75 different options . I believe working with a licensed and certified health insurance agent who can walk you through the options , ask you important questions about how you use health care and assist you is a much better idea . Working with an agent also does not cost you any money . Same plans and rates online or working with an independent health insurance agent .
