This might belong in the political forum, but: why are there so few choices available for individual health insurance?
I'm currently covered by COBRA but will need to get my own insurance early next year. Ehealthinsurace.com shows me 21 plans from 3 health insurance companies. Why are only 3 insurers available to me? Is it the insurance company's choice where they offer coverage, or some government agency restricting what's available to me? Or are there some other Machiavellian forces at work?
