Where can I get family health insurance in Alabama?

I will be quitting my job soon to be a stay at home mom, thus losing my medical insurance. My husband's insurance through his company is very expensive due to it being so small (only 20 or so people in the company). I will need to find a health insurance plan for my family, but am having a hard time finding any plans that have good coverage and don't have a large premium amount. Does anyone know of a good health insurance company I should look at? Please keep in mind I live in Alabama....a lot of the insurance companies online only apply to certain states. Thanks a bunch.


I can't imagine it's going to be cheaper on your own.

You need to go to a local, independent agent, and ask for quotes. They'll have the ones with providers in your area.

If you have no preexisting conditions, and you're around 30, it's GOING to cost YOU, $250 a month, your HUSBAND $250 a month, and the KIDS, $200 a month EACH. Is that cheaper than your husband's plan?

If you have preexisting conditions, they will be excluded, OR, you might flat out be declined.

that's JUST what health insurance costs. Or, you sacrifice coverage, OR, you take a $5,000 deductible before the insurance kids in, OR, you sign up for a health discount plan where no one takes the plans, OR you get scammed from over the internet.

You CAN'T buy a brand new cadillac for $10, you CAN'T get family health insurance with comprehensive coverage for $120 a month, except through an employer.


What do you think of the state of Alabama charging obese people for health insurance?

Is this discrimination?

Is this a new trend for the national health care system?

Before you know we will all have to be perfectly fit in order to receive health services under the new national health care system?


it is discrimination if they don't ALSO monitor & penalize people for every OTHER risky behavior.

pot smokers
hard drug users
drinkers
homosexual men
non monogamous people
children who's parents refuse to vaccinate them
people who don't keep up with their dental health
pregnant women

etc etc etc

where can I find health insurance in alabama?



if you are a minor you can get 'kids first' insurance for free or cheap. Other than that you have to buy it from a company like Blue Cross. It's great to get a job that has insurance as one of the benefits, such as working at a hospital or office.

Court Limits Patient Billing for ER Care

California's high court ruled that emergency-room patients can no longer be billed by doctors and hospitals for care that isn't fully paid by their health plans.

The court on Thursday struck down a practice known as "balance billing," in which doctors and hospitals seek to collect from patients any amounts that their managed-care plans refuse to pay. Instead, the providers must either absorb the costs themselves, or get the insurance companies to pay.

Balance billing is controversial because patients are sometimes hit with emergency-room bills because they go to the nearest hospital or other medical facility regardless of whether it accepts their insurance. Health-care providers argue that they need some way to guarantee that they can be paid for their services.

In its decision, the California Supreme Court overturned a lower-court ruling and found that billing disputes over emergency medical care must be resolved solely between providers and health plans.
