An estimated 49% of Americans get health insurance through their employer, but you do not necessarily have to do so.

Individuals with income restrictions may also qualify for a subsidy to help pay for health insurance.

If you are interested in choosing a health insurance plan, there are a lot of factors to consider. First, you need to think about whether you are purchasing insurance for yourself or your family. You might be able to get a discount with a bulk plan, but this is something that you need to consider ahead of time.

Then, you need to think about whether you are going through your employer to get health insurance or if you will be purchasing it on your own. If you go through your employer to get health insurance, you can often save some money. On the other hand, you might be limited in terms of the number of plans from which you can choose. Make sure you are clear about how you will be getting your health insurance.

Then, you need to think about your deductible, your premium, any potential co-pays, and the prospect of coinsurance. All of these factors will play a significant role in how much coverage you have and how much money you will have to pay. If you want to learn more about these factors, and how they should influence your choice, it would be our pleasure to talk to you about your options.
