Toymeister is right – it all depends on your circumstances. We are in our early 70s (therefore Medicare is our primary insurer), relatively healthy & active & need only a few prescription drugs. As a retired fed, we were sorely disappointed and very unpleasantly surprised that the great Kaiser HMO we had back home didn’t exist in FL. After extensive research we signed up with Aetna & are happy. Suggestions for research besides the company usual brochures – search this site for other options and search in Next Door app. Use search terms like: health insurance, health premiums, drug options.

Be sure to look into SHINE (they provide free and unbiased health insurance counseling through a dedicated network of volunteers) SHINE - Home ; they hold classes online now.

Hope you are near or over 65; Medicare coverage makes a world of difference. Good luck.
