So I have a job oppurtunity with a small company but they do not offer Health Insurance, so I would need to cover me and my family.

I am looking for any info that would help because its turning into a mine field and I am trying to avoif being spammed to death by looking online.

Can you keep your current insurance with COBRA?

Forgot about Cobra. Thanks

No problem. It's probably not the cheapest option (depending on how much your current employer contributes), but hopefully it can hold you over until you figure something else out.

I would look into the affordable care act options:

Norm had to have that for a few years while working freelance.

This would make me get a job at ups part time

I did healthcare.gov between jobs while in school. Whatever I had was better coverage than I had while working. The only issue was that they wanted to keep giving me free insurance despite asking to cancel it like 5 times once I got a job.

Yeah no benefits at UPS part time. I could tell the horror stories I have from that job but i would need my own blog site.

I know a broker in somerville if you want to explore the private offerings.
$23k seems right for a family....

This kind of stuff really makes me wish this country would get on board with universal healthcare. Would be great not having health insurance options as a major part of the decision process on finding a new job.

I think regardless of your political stance we can all agree Insurance and health care is effed up.

I think anything required by the fed or state should be paid for by taxes provided by the government, no one should profit off of something that is mandatory. I say this as someone who holds both H&B and a P&C license and works for a broker of private comercail insurance. Its insulting that its required but not provided.

There are ppl in this country where $23k per year is chump change and they would rather not pay more taxes than they have to.
