Most people get their health insurance through the plans provided by their employers. Usually, the employer pays part of the monthly cost (premium), so this is the best strategy. But what if you still can’t afford it, or if you become ineligible or lose employment? 
           The world of health insurance is complex and varied. Here we’ll try to simplify the options so you can make an educated choice without confusion on what kind of coverage you’re getting. Visit the Texas Dept. of Insurance consumer links below and download our personal coverage guide!
