Is it possible to "buy Blue" when buying health insurance? Need recommendation
I need to buy a health insurance plan. I hate to give my money to the companies who are fighting against the reform that I am absolutely for. Is there any health insurance plan out there, where my money won't contribute to fighting against my own best interests?

Also, is there a "consumer reports" on health care, that would let me know which insurance companies are the **least bad** as far as denying claims?

I'm 48 and live in NY if that makes a difference.

1. Consumer Reports has done an excellent job with this, IMO, and has recently
taken a position in the debate, which is very unusual for them.

You can get some information without being a member, but it may be worth your while to join to get more in depth info.

Good luck!

2. Thanks for the link! Very helpful. I'm guessing there are no "blue" health insurance companies (NT)
