Blue Cross and State Farm offer policies with a high deductible which are usually reasonably priced. Coverage with lower deductibles are sometimes available. But you either pay now through high premiums with a low deductible or a low premium with a high deductible. With a high deductible you have a chance of some savings each year. Most insurance companies will require you to exhaust your Cobra rights before they will offer you a policy. Also, to avoid a pre-existing condition coverage issue you will need to present a certificate of credible coverage to prove that you had group health insurance coverage within the past 60 days.
