Chris, my 'ole buddy.....
That's the point...as I sort out all the angles, I think NYS might be a different beast.
I'm looking for more than catastrophic ( only) coverage..and my current plan (currently thru my wife's work... or my own previous plan with my prior employer)...gave me "regular" coverage at a more reasonable deductible.... plus dental /vision....for something on the order of $200-250/month. Individual policies that are not group rates kick this up to $800-$1000/month.
In the interim I found some intersting plays on the internet. Seems folks like 4-health-insurance-rates.com or ehealthinsurance.com offer a group rate ...trying to fill "slots" for people who have dropped out...but trying to keep the group population high. I entered some basic info into a web page indicating my home state and within 5 seconds I got a phone call saying that another NYS subscriber dropped and I can get the "spot" price of $180/month. I mentioned that I was simply investigating for the near future ( not for *now* !). The next time I call, I will be offered a different spot price depending on the number of open slots for your area. Need to check this out more......
