Certainly, the options are many, Patricia.
Have you ever heard of individual health insurance policy in Houston? That is one of your alternative options for a group health insurance policy that you can possibly get from your job. You will be the one to purchase your own health insurance as an individual health insurance policy from any private health insurance company. Though an individual health insurance coverage can offer a broader coverage, it might come a little more expensive than the group health insurance coverage. Group health insurance companies normally are sold in numbers which can come with a discount, similar to a bulk discount when you purchase merchandise.
You can even get government health insurance programs like Medicaid or Medicare, which can be really a lot cheaper than individual health insurance policies from private health insurance companies. There are certain qualifications that you need to meet in order for you to avail of Medicaid or Medicare. There is also another government program called high-risk pools that offers health insurance coverage for people with medical conditions or pre-existing conditions. Although for this program which is only available in 30 states, a proof of medical condition or disqualification letter from any health insurance company is needed to qualify. For high-risk pools, slots are limited depending on the budget of the state.
