Insurance

Will be going fulltime next year and wondering what people have for health insurance. Currently we are residents of Wisconsin, looking to change possibly to South Dakota in the future, so would like advice on both states. He will be 60 and I will be 58 when this happens, so we will need insurance for a few years before medicare would happen. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
  • make sure your plan is not an HMO. Make sure it's a national company like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare. I would start with www.healthcare.gov in your home state. If and when you move it is a qualifying life event and you can change plans. If there are no companies listed on healthcare.gov that will cover you when you travel outside the network you may have to purchase insurance on the open market.
