Musician Andrew D'Angelo's recent misfortune and this state's mandate—not to mention the behest of my dad—prompt me to end my gamble with health and finances.
I start individual health care policy research here. The site leads me to useful pdfs of coverage comparisons. I navigate on my own to find each of the six provider's unsavory premiums and limited-network emergency coverage.
Though health care misgivings are not unique to Massachusetts, the state's coverage mandate presently is. It's perhaps the reason why moving to the Commonwealth ruptured any benefit from my professional group's health care discount. I'm waiting to hear back now about one company's self-employment rate. If I get this settled by next week, I can visit a doctor by next month.
Healthy, uninsured, and self-employed in Mass, I offer this post on Latent Print as case study.

I shopped directly on the Health Connector site. Their Commonwealth Choice brand, not the same as a direct purchase from a provider, presented easy comparison of individual plans from six major providers. I skipped the self-employment and Commonwealth Care eligibility steps (I qualify for both) just to get the ball rolling. Insured as of May 1.
Finally I can rest easily that my ice climbing, tundra trekking, cross national driver and weekend backpacker has health insurance and if done correctly any misfortune will not put me back to work!
