    Hey JCT does have health ins that you can get. Its not group insurance. IMO its not that great if yall go to a doc a lot. Its first dollar coverage and limits to 6 visits a year. It does have disability and dental and vision discounts. The cheapest plan is like 250 a month. It also covers pre existing conditions. I don't like the fact that it only limits 6 visits. But other than that I guess its decent. You won't be able to find one outside for the price and provide first dollar coverage.

    That is actually a Supplemental plan, not major medical insurance. You should look into some major med, and use that supplemental plan to help meet deductibles, cover little gaps, and provide some income while you are out from work.

    If you have a heartattack or stroke or something with that supplemental, you will get a huge surprise when you realize how limited it is.
