NP groups providing advice on private health insurance?

I live in Austin, TX and my girlfriend is a freelance designer. She recently graduated college and needs to start purchasing private health insurance. She's a little overwhelmed. I was wondering if there are any nonprofit groups that provide information and advice on this kind of thing. Preferably one with a branch in Austin.

You can always go to the TX Insurance Department website. But in order to give you advice about this sort of thing in Texas, legally, they have to be licensed to sell that type of insurance. Pretty much, the only people you'll see, are agents - because you have to do continuing education, etc. Just go to a local, independent agent. There's no obligation to BUY. I can tell you right now, if she's 25 and perfectly healthy, a good low/no deductible plan without maternity benefits is GOING to cost around $250 a month.
