How old can you be and still get health insurance if you are a full time student and live with your parents?

I live in Indiana
--------------------
In Indiana, as long as you are a full time student, and your parents' legal dependent, you can stay on their employer's group health insurance plan until you are 24.

Is optima health or anthem health insurance better?

I'm 22 not married, no kids, and looking for a reliable insurance and plan
--------------------
Optima is a very small company. In Virginia you have many other options. Anthem is good, but Aetna, United Health, etc... are good sellers there as well. If you're a female I'd recommend the Anthem and adding their maternity rider since it provides comprehensive coverage. Go to my site... http://www.InsurancePickle.com Click on the pickle and you can compare plans that are available to you. The quoting tool requires no personal information to use.

what is the best health insurance in california?

i could either choose blue cross hmo or ppo or kaiser hmo..not sure which is best?
--------------------
A lot will depend on your specific situation (age, zip code, health issues, etc.) but Blue Cross Blue Shield of California and Kaiser Permanente are both very strong CA health insurance companies. Shop around and compare quotes from at least 3-5 different CA health insurance companies and then you will be able to make a good decision. Here is some more information about finding the best California health insurance:

How do i get affordable health insurance in new york?

I make 40k a year but i live in nyc so i cant afford a standard plan. Just need for myself 37 yr old male Thanks
--------------------
If you're healthy and not overweight, a good low/no deductible plan for just you, will cost around $400 a month. There are lots of places that do online health insurance quotes. The vast majority of them, harvest your personal information and sell it as "leads" to other agents - lots of agents. Plus, the quote you get, is a "bait" quote - when you go to actually buy the insurance, and put more personal information in, the rate will change - sometimes drastically, and sometimes they'll flat out refuse to give you coverage. With health insurance, you get what you pay for. Each state has different coverages and plans. It's almost impossible to compare plans - meaning coverage - effectively, for 50 different states, and if you're shopping based on price, you're probably shortchanging yourself. The safest way to get a REAL health insurance quote, not have your personal information harvested and sold, and not be scammed by being sold a fake policy or a discount plan instead of insurance, is to shop for health insurance with a LOCAL, independent agent.

Can your spouse legally cancel you and dependents from health insurance policy.?

There are no legal papers and during open enrollment my spouse who I am separating from canceled me and our four dependents from insurance without notifying me during open enrollment; understand this is legal to do. However, because he did not notify me, I have now missed my 30 period to apply for benefits at my current employer leaving me with no coverage until open enrollment next year. Is this an appropriate action? Would he have to notify me?
--------------------
Yes. During open enrollment, the plan subscriber - your spouse - can choose which, if any, dependents they keep insured, or drop. YOU don't get entitled to any notification, as YOU are not the plan subscriber. Is it appropriate? No, it shows that your marriage is in crisis, that you're not talking about that kind of stuff. That's a bigger problem than not having health insurance, IMO.
