Can you find invidual health insurance over age 50 or over age 60 in the US?

Of course it is tough to find affordable health insurance for many Americans. Otherwise, with rising health care costs, we would not see almost 50 million uninsured Americans. In addition to the 47 million uninsured Americans, I would bet that at least twice that number are not very well insured to make certain that their health is protected. I have heard so many horror stories of mini-med plans that top out at very low amounts which will not cover any sort of serious injury or illness.

From my own experience working with insurance, I know that the situation is particularly difficult to obtain health insurance over 50 or over 60! Of course, Medicare should kick in at age 65, but what about adequate health cover until them?

The best you can do is to compare health insurance plans and quotes, and then if you still have a problem obtaining health coverage, consult with your state insurance department for high risk health insurance options. HSA plans with fairly high deductibles, but with health savings accounts that earn interest and tax breaks are good bets for middle aged peoples. The money can be used for all sorts of medical services, even some that are not covered by most medical plans, and any unused money can be withdrawn at retirement (Medicare) age!

Here are some good online health insurance resources:

Mini Med Insurance - It may be easier to qualify for a mini-med plan then a major medical plan, but will it provide good coverage for you?
