    Default A good place to start

    Try these to sites. Good for generating multiple quotes from many companies. I know agents that use these sites. I've had BlueCross/Shield and now have Assurant. Good luck.

    the only thing that's slightly affordable is a catastrophic care (high deductible)
    try Cover Colorado
    it's the "last choice" for Colorado (if everyone rejects you) but it turns out to be way cheaper than everyone else. (80/20, $2000 deductible) and i've had no issues in 4 years.
    and it's month to month.

    or other high deductible or like a Kaiser.
    the male isn't the expensive part, it's the female and the kids.

    You can get Cobra through your previous employer for up to 18 months.

    When I was a private consultant with my own company I used Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield as well as United Health care.

    All I have to suggest is if you can swing it get CIGNA, by far the best provider I have ever had. Both arms broke, ER visit, 7 Dr's visits with x-rays and 14+ PT visits and so far my grand total is $500 plus co-pays ($50 per PT visit).

    Call your insurance agent.
