Health insurance rates - compare plans

Premiums can vary widely between companies. If your employer doesn't provide health insurance and you can't find it through an association or public plan, you may have to buy coverage for yourself. This is known as the individual market.

Finding the best deal requires some shopping savvy. Above all, make sure you're comparing similar benefits when looking at plans, so you have an apples-to-apples comparison.
