What health care provider do you use.

What health care provider do you have in desperate need of one.

Holy crap! I'm not so sure on that one. I've only heard of "Cobra" being something that you can sign on for if you aren't getting one through an employer or govt assistance route.

Commenting in an @eli77 thread cures me every time

In a world that's unpredictably crazy, you want a place that's predictably crazy.

I have Blue Cross Complete through State medicare, which is 100% free for me. The website is awful for finding care but the coverage itself is amazing. Zero copays and deductibles - covers all medical and dental, ambulances, prescriptions, and just normal checkups/preventative care. Literally have never paid a dime.

In my experience I can qualify for it even when I'm employed, but I think there's an income limit. If you're self employed it's pretty easy to get away with it, they don't really verify income.

From what I know, Priority Health and Aetna are pretty sh*tty.

I think Personify? I’m having to use Claude Cowork to get through the maze of these insurance portals.

How long have you been with them?

Cobra is what you are able to get after you get fired or let go by an employer if you want to continue under that health insurance for a period of time and pay out of pocket.

Essentially, you have to start paying the employer portion of what was being covered for your health insurance which is usually like 70-80+% a month of the total, on top of the 20-30% you paid as the employee for the portion you were responsible for.

It's ridiculously expensive so I'm not sure why anyone would.
