Individual health insurance coverage can be acquired with some careful researching of many diverse companies that offer health insurance plans and policies and the cost of an individual health insurance plan will differ from one insurance provider to another. Normally these plans are for individuals that are either self-employed or in some cases unemployed. When compared to an insurance plan that covers groups of consumers working for a small business, the coverage for an individual is more costly .
Perhaps the easiest way to be eligible for better health insurance rates and benefits is to instead forget about signing up for an individual health insurance plan and instead focus on finding a group health insurance plan that they can become a part of with other self employed people or by finding a job that offers such a plan as part of its benefits package.
Still trying to decide between group health insurance and an individual health insurance plan is a decision that can only be made by someone facing that situation. It poaches down to contrasting the two health insurance coverage plans in order to see what really the differences, similarities, advantages and disadvantages are between the two. Only then can a consumer can make the right choice and receive the perceived health insurance coverage they need and deserve.
Individual health plans come in two categories:
Managed care plans
Indemnity plans.
Comparatively Managed Care Health Plans are cheaper than indemnity plans. A managed care health plan is a good option if you want to lessen the cost of an individual health policy. Choice is something that you will need to give up if you decide to buy this plan.
Indemnity Plans are traditional health plans and are definitely more expensive than managed care health plans. The positive aspect here is that you can keep hold of the choice of choosing your health provider. The plan is best for the people who becomes frequently ill and depend only on their trusted doctor or hospital for their treatment.
Once you have decided upon the plan, compare a few individual policies to review their coverage. The best way to do this is to get online quotes and visiting state health department laws. Check for the coverage options and the benefits they provide. In case your friends too have bought individual health coverage, discuss with them their satisfaction level and the drawbacks, if any.

Best to go to an independant agent. They will be able to tell you how far back the underwriting will require your medical records. Usually, it's 5-10 years. If you have not been treated in that time frame and your records reflect that, you should be fine. It is doubtful that a letter from your doctor would be very helpful.

Usually, it would make more sense to have everyone one the same plan.
However, I have heard of circumstances where some members of the family have a separate policy, because of one family member's health issue. The healthy family members can stay on a lower premium policy, while the family member with the health complication goes on their own policy.
It really just depends on the circumstances involved. Make sure to get quotes for each scenario, so that you can make a fully informed decision.

No. By "reasonable", I'm assuming you mean $100 a month, or less.
Health insurance for someone in perfect health, at your age, is going to run between $600 and $1,000 a month. That's just what it costs.
If someone is offering you something in the $100 to $200 range, it's either a fake policy, a scam, or a discount plan – not insurance.

For every drug you take, there is a specific reason for its use in most cases. Iipitor; high cholesterol, Nexium, acid reflux, Wellbutrim, depression. In some cases, some drugs can be used for multiple reasons, but it will become evident asap when they see what drugs you are taking to RED FLAG you and do a search on your medical history.
Have you listed to the health care debate out there? Many people have complained they had insurance for years, get sick, then the insurance company DIGS thu 5 to 10 years of their health background, to find something SUSPICIOUS and then deny treatment or Void their policy for misrepresentation. Do you want that to happen to you? When you will need it the most.
Call a local agent and inquire about your health history if it will affect you or not in obtaining insurance. Believe me they know what will or wont be affected. Don't take the chance by OMITTING your health and regret it later when they deny needed treatment later for not disclosing it.
good luck
