Hello everyone, I'm new to this website, and the whole topic of insurance in United States. I came to US three years ago, I am a legal resident, an student, and a part time worker, 23 years old, with no serious condition. I have not had any health insurance during the past 3 years, but because of Obamacare, I guess I have to buy a new one till the end of the month.
Now, I am totally lost since I don't know much about the rules in this country, and I'm just starting to learn about it. Firstly, my parents do not live with me here, so I can't go under a family insurance. I have to get an individual insurance. My income is less than $10,000 a year, and I mostly live by financial aid and loans from school. I needed to know what insurance companies in CA (Los Angeles) offer affordable health insurance for a guy with my situation?! I know about Covered California, and the deadline is tomorrow...do you think that is the best I can find?!
Any help/suggestion would be much appreciated.
(I also suffer from deviated septum, and I know most insurance companies cover the expenses for that, so if I could get a reliable health insurance that would cover the expenses of a possible surgery in the future would be great!)
