Question about purchasing catastrophic health care insurance?

I'm a generally healthy 44 y/o male whose lousy employer doesn't even offer a buy-in health insurance plan. Since I don't want to go bankrupt if something should befall me, 1. Should I purchase catastrophic health care insurance, and 2. How do I find a reliable provider that isn't too expensive? Thanks.

How much does your teen's (19 y.o.) car insurance cost?

My dad's been footing the bill for my car insurance the past few years. Now that I've been driving for a while and got an internship, he wants me to pay. I'm not complaining, but I'm just want to compare how much you pay for your insurance (if you're a teen) or how much you pay for your teen. Also, I've not been involved in any accidents at all.. and no tickets as well, including parking tickets. For three vehicles and a travel trailer, my portion of the insurance is about 55% of the entire bill with a brand new car on the list.

Insurance rates on these cars?

I'm very fortunate to come from a middle class family, and my parents are footing the bill/insurance for my first vehicle. My budget is $22,000, but I would like to spend less than that, as my parents also pay for my university and some of my athletic fees (what my sponsors don't cover anyway.) My marks are good, which I know gives me a bit of a break on my insurance, there's a discount for being at least a B student and I don't plan on driving much, as I live away from home (where I intend to keep the car,) it's cheaper to take the bus (bus pass included in tuition,) and I'm a conscientiousness driver, driving is a privilege, not a right after all! But when it comes to the average insurance on these vehicles for an 18 year old (I've had my Learners since I was 15, with no demerits) 2005 BMW 545i 2007 BMW 3-Series 328i Sedan 2007 Cadillac CTS Sedan 2006 Audi A4 Sedan 2010 Volvo S40 2.4i R Sedan 2007 Mini Cooper 2011 Chev Camaro (base) 2007 Lincoln MKZ Sedan Would they be fair in terms of insurance in terms of what you know?

Should I yell at the insurance company?

I'm very frustrated at this point. Two years ago I got braces, at the time I was still living on the east coast. I then moved to California halfway during treatment and learned that my insurance was not going to cover treatment after my transfer (even under their providers). I still needed the braces at the time so I found a seperate orthodonist and paid for all treatments as though I had no insurance. Its been almost a year now and I need the braces removed. However, I cannot afford to remove them and my insurance still won't cover for any ortho procedures. Should I be a pacifist about all of this? I've spent quite a lot of money on treatment w/o the help of insurance. Now I'm in a rut, stuck with braces even though I don't need them anymore and I feel as though no one will help me.

I quit my job to take another job. I need health insurance for 90 days before my new coverage kicks in.?

If I buy short-term insurance, my pre-existing condition (ADD) will not be covered for 1 year. So, do I buy health insurance for 1 year and not take my new employers? By the way, Cobra will cost me $794 a month if I decide to get it. That's crazy! I'm 25 years old, have had health insurance my whole life, perfectly healthy except for ADD... Maybe Obama should try and fix the system for those who still have jobs before he creates new problems. What 25 year old can afford $794 a month for Cobra? What do I do?
