Do you have any experience with a carrier to stay away from and why?
I would also be interested to hear the answers to Champion's questions.

For example, assuming someone in their 60s had no health care insurance whatsoever, how much would it cost to obtain the insurance? (Obviously it would be more expensive for those with pre-existing conditions). I'm just trying to understand what the approximate range would be.
