Let's start with an explanation of why you must select your state. The individual health insurance industry is only allowed to operate state-by-state. There are no federal health insurance plans. Every state has its own Department of Insurance to license companies. This means Florida health insurance is not the same as California health insurance. Secondly, what’s the difference between cheap health insurance and affordable health insurance? It all comes down to the health insurance coverage you are buying. Cheap policies offer very limited coverage and making a claim can be difficult. Affordable policies offer reasonable coverage at a sensible premium rate. Remember the cheapest type of insurance is short term health insurance and, if you are refused coverage, an increasing number of states now offer group health insurance plans.

While the politicians are arguing about whether the current healthcare system is in need of reform, there is one continuing truth. The premium rates on health insurance have been rising faster than inflation for the last ten years and more. This is because the cost of treatment has been rising fast. The profit motive means everyone in the supply chain wants their cut. The drug companies, medical equipment makers, the hospitals and the doctors expect to be paid. Insurance companies exist to pay dividends to their stockholders (and pay your medical bills). It’s hardly surprising that more than 45 million people can no longer afford health insurance.
