Health insurance for 1 person?

Question

I am considering getting a job that does not have health insurance benefits, however they are willing to pay a little bit more so I could get my own. I was wondering what is the cheapest (but best for you) health insurance you know of and how much of a pay increase would you ask for to afford the insurance? I'm 5'9, 120 lbs, and healthy with no medical problems. I am also a 23 yr old female. That should be it!

Answer 7

If you're healthy and 23, it's going to cost around $127 a month, WITH maternity benefits.

Which is why we have no idea because it depends on where you live.  However, $250/month is outrageous unless you live NY, NJ, or MA...then it's cheap.

Get a qualified "High Deductible Health Plan" and ask your employer to make non taxable contributions to your Health Savings Account, equal to the maximum allowed per year. ($2,900 in 2008).
