    There are several independent agencies (such as ours) that have websites that allow people to run health insurance quotes online and you can be reviewing plans in about a minute or two.  It gives you instant information on plans from the major carriers and you can follow up with a licensed agent to get your questions answered.  On our website it is under the "other" tab to go to under 65 health insurance.  It is a great way to save a lot of time and get a full understanding of what health insurance plans are available in Texas.

    If you are able to get on the Healthcare.gov site today, start an account. If you can at least get that far, then there is a few day extension that gives you a little more time to finish, if the site continues to be bogged down with last minute shoppers. There are several non-government sites that you can shop in, but it is not always the case that the prices and/or coverages are comparable, nor might they offer the payment assistance that you may qualify for on the Government site. That is not to say that you couldn't find a good policy, it's just wise to compare before buying, just as you should any major purchase. Please contact me through my link, if you have more questions.

    Recommend that you go to www.healthcare.gov but if you did not have an application started by March 31st or if you are not eligible for a Special Enrollment Period you may have to wait till regular annual open enrollment which is in November.   Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

    You can get health insurance online in Texas! The easiest and most efficient way to obtain the best rates and best coverage is through an experienced broker. That's our job and why we have top-rated websites.

    The .gov website is still not free from glitches, delays and security concerns. And most experienced health insurance brokers can offer "off-Exchange" plans which you can not get through the government website.

    A broker will help determine the amount of your federal subsidy, so you can view how much your Texas health insurance rate will reduce and which options are the best.

    If you missed Open Enrollment, a broker can review short-term plan options and other viable choices.
