Comment on Ask HN: Leap to entrepreneur: How to do medical insurance?

Comments

Few different options.. At the start, COBRA will last you around 18+ months, which gives you some time to make a decision.

Depending on the state, "small group" plans will cover corporations that have at least 1 (or in some cases 2) employees. You might get better quotes as a small group than as a self-employed individual, but it will depend... Some states have programs that are tailored for individuals.

FWIW, some people have reported decent rates with UHC, ehealthinsurance.com, tonik.com, etc. But I would get quotes from your preferred carrier.

Thanks for your response. I will check into those solutions you have posted. My initial Google searches exhausted with nothing of discernible value and I suppose I'm anxious to hear about how others bridged the gap.
