Health Insurance Broker Recommendation
Can anyone recommend a health insurance broker for an individual health insurance policy? I may be in a situation where I need to secure my own health insurance and I don't know where to start. I have health conditions that do not make me an ideal health insurance candidate, and in the old days would have definitely been uninsurable. Given the law I am now insurable, but I'm sure at a very steep price. I would at least like to get some guidance on the best, most expansive policy under these circumstances.

Have you looked at Covered CA? I'd recommend going on their website to see if you qualify for a subsidy. (It would probably mean you wouldn't be insured until January, though, fyi.)
I bought an individual policy from Bett Martinez a few years ago. She gives good advice, though she seems to have a preference for Blue Shield. Perhaps she gets a higher commission from them than from Kaiser? She is mainly doing long-term care insurance now, but will help with invividual plans with a referral. Feel free to message me and I will give you the details.
We buy our health insurance through Covered CA and it is very reasonable. It's easy to sign up online, though I believe the coverage starts every January, so I'm not sure if you could get covered immediately or not.
