what is the best health insurance company?

when health insurance is not offered through their work. I checked on blue cross blue shield but it doesn't seem to be a very good deal. any advice?

Blue Cross is a different and sometimes COMPLETELY UNRELATED company when you go state to state. So it matters where you live. And, there's no 'best' company because if there was there'd only be one company. And, DON'T assume that when coverage is offered through work that it's your best bet. Group insurance is expensive for healthy people. Find a broker that does business in your state and they'll be able to help you. You can try the insurance pricing tool on my homepage. It gives the prices of different insurance companies and works in many (but not all) states and also requires no personal information to use. (Community guidelines state, even though no link is provided, that it's OK to accompany a good, on-topic answer with a link to your website, blog, or email to offer more information.)
