$200 a month sounds very cheap. I would check what you actually get for that.

good topic.

i am also currently researching for available health insurance for my mother when she gets here.

i checked out kaiser (our provider), the lowest they have is $200 per month, my mom is 59.

What's the deductible? Does it include medical, dental, vision and Rx? What about pre-existing conditions?

$200 a month sounds very cheap. I would check what you actually get for that.

I agree with you Boiler, it sounds too low. I bet it must be with a pretty high deductible.
