health insurance

Body: 

i'm about to reinstate my health insurance with aetna through their cobra filings which will basically charge me my regular monthly payments X 5 for the # of months since i was last covered. does anyone recommend or know of a better insurance out there that may be less expensive? will i find any problems in the coverage since this will be considered as a previous condition?

any advice and opinions will help?

Hi Mara

Usually when I am comparing things like health insurance I go to my Australian consumer magazine called Choice, which I subscribe to. I imagine you have one or more similar publications where you live. I know that Choice is held by many public libraries in Oz. This is possibly the case where you live.

The other option is to google the health insurance companies and add "review" on the end of the search string. Make sure you look for genuine customer reviews. One of the sites I use for reviews is www.productreview.com, but there may be sites specifically for reviewing health products.
