The Top Five Health Insurance Companies for 2015

Health insurance is a stressful topic these days, particularly now that so many people are out of affordable insurance options. Those who were not able to afford insurance before have low rates that are almost laughable considering the fact that those of us already paying for individual health insurance plans can no longer afford them since the rates have skyrocketed to triple, even quadruple, the amount they previously were before the Affordable Healthcare Act was initiated this year. Now that 2015 is upon us and it’s time to go elsewhere with our insurance as most of our plans are officially cancelled as of January 1, it’s important to understand which health insurance companies are offering the best coverage in the new year. Of course, you might not be able to get health insurance through all of these companies, some rates might be a bit less affordable than others, and you might not even want to go with one of these companies. However, as a whole, these are the best companies from which to seek health insurance plans in 2015.
