Check with the wellness center at your college they may offer programs like that for you…mine did anyway.
are you under 23? if so you mom or dad may be able to cover you under them. check in to state ins. good luck
My college actually had health insurance that covered me while I was there. It was great coverage too. You should check with your Wellness center as the person who answered before me. They'll be able to help you out.
The following site has a fantastic free comparison quote feature so you can see the best companie's rates side by side and make an informed decision
This site (see Sources) lists a couple of services where you can get comparisons of health insurance coverage from various providers. One of them definitely includes plans for students.
The cheapest place to go, is through your college.
It's NOT going to include vision and dental – you're not going to find private vision and dental that doesn't end up costing more than it pays out – ever.
Sorry, kid, you're asking this question about 20 years too late!
I would probably be able to tell you a few health insurance
policies that would satisfy your requirements about
20 years ago. There is a reason why Walmart doesn't give
you such insurance, you know. They did the math too. And if
a huge corporation with huge purchasing power can not negotiate
a good deal with the insurers, how do you think you will being
just a single individual? There is hope though. Watch
this video below and enjoy!
If you're under 23 years old, see if you can still be covered under your parents' health insurance. Otherwise, contact student services at your college and ask if they have a deal with anyone – sometimes they do, It's pretty basic insurance – mainly to cover you for a hospital stay, but it should suit your needs. If the college can't help you there, contact a local insurance broker and see if you can get a basic policy – that would only cover you for hospitalization, since that would be the big thing for your age and condition – you should be able to get a decent one for about $200 a month or so.
My college actually had health insurance that covered me while I was there. It was great coverage too. However, if you live the state of illinois I can personally help you. If not, call a local aflac agent in your state. If you have any further question about insurance email me.
