Health Insurance

Posted by editor on December 2, 2009

Like a lot of people in Michigan, I found myself between jobs this year. Fortunately, in my case, the transition was my choice. I was able to leave a pretty good job for one that I have wanted for years. While I was very excited about the move, my wife was a bit nervous. We have two young children, with another on the way. We are all healthy, but with kids you never know when a bloody nose or broken arm is going to happen. And, with my wife being pregnant, we didn’t want to miss any of her prenatal appointments. We are not big consumers of health insurance, but it is important to us.

My brother is in the insurance business, so I turned to him first. He was not able to help us bridge the gap between my past employer and my future employer at a price that made sense for us. To his credit, rather than trying to talk me into something that didn’t make sense, he suggested taking a look at Health America.

I followed his advice, and found their web site to be quick and easy to use. I have a background in web site improvements, and tend to judge companies by what I see on their sites. This site was economically designed, and got the information from me needed to generate a quote for my specific needs. We were able to very quickly put together a package that made my wife sleep at night, and didn’t empty my wallet.
