Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Howard,  

Was wondering if you would mind saying what Agent/Broker you went through to get your new Health Insurance in Florida? Since I retired two years ago, Health Insurance coverage is my biggest monthly expense, as we are not 65 yet. I thought I may give them a try and see if they could do better than my current coverage. 

Thank you, David

Hi David,

We went through Guidewell Insurance Agency. They got the job done and the young lady I worked with responded to my calls and emails timely. But I wouldn't exactly give them a glowing recommendation.

Good luck!

You might try here:

www.ehealthinsurance.com/

I don't know anything about them, I found this link through an RV site, it thought it was this one but in any event it's a place to look. Good luck.

We've been recommending ehealthinsurance.com for years as an easy way to get quotes in multiple states/zip codes on multiple plans without having to provide a lot of upfront personal information. However, since the start of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), they are not as helpful if you are getting insurance in the middle of a year (outside open enrollment) and have to prove a Qualifying Event.

Had we not needed insurance in the middle of the year due to a domicile change, we probably wouldn't have used an agency. With that said, health insurance pricing is the same whether you use an agent or not and a good agency can help you muddle through the administrative red tape now required to get coverage, especially if you want or need a subsidy through the ACA.
