Large health insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare, Anthem and Aetna dominate the health insurance market, but they’re not the only options for you.
There are dozens of smaller health insurance companies that might be a better fit for your needs. The individual and nongroup insurance market offers a wide range of insurers from mega companies to smaller insurers that focus on one state or one particular type of health insurance.
It’s critical to shop around when buying an individual health insurance plan. You might find a cheaper plan. You could find one with more protection.
