What are some good health insurance plans for college students?

that is, college students who don't have any money... Please provide links if possible!
--------------------
Most students get their health insurance through a parent's plan or through their college's or university's health plan. These are especially valuable options for people with pre-existing medical conditions, since most of these plans cannot turn you down for coverage based on your medical history. You *can* get turned down for coverage (in most states) when you go out and purchase a health insurance plan on your own. However, if you're fairly young and healthy, you may be able to find some affordable individual coverage options. It's hard to make a specific recommendation, however, since each state has its own health insurance market, and you didn't mention where you're living. Here's what I suggest: Visit an online health insurance agency like eHealthInsurance.com (where I work), or talk with a licensed agent. Online, you can get free quotes from a broad range of health insurance companies and compare rates and benefits to find one that works for your needs and budget. You can even apply for coverage online. If you want to talk with one of our licensed agents, give us a call at 1-800-977-8860. In many states, there are a whole host of health insurance options to choose from, and even some plans specifically designed for students. Good luck! Amir M, licensed agent
