Health insurance has been at the forefront of the news in the past week. In a matter of time, we may all need to have a health insurance policy or face a small fine. Those who find themselves in the market for a new health insurance policy or who want to look for a new and improved health insurance policy might want to check **eHealthInsurance.com**, a web service for health insurance shoppers. **Insurance Web Site Commentary:** eHealthInsurance.com is an on-line retail store that lets individuals, families, and small businesses shop for insurance. This web service is used primarily for health insurance, but it also helps consumers find insurance products and services in specific categories such as short term, medicare, dental, and life. Insurance shoppers can go to any one of these sections, open the drop down menu, view the different options available, and then begin a search. Health insurance can get very expensive and because of this fact, I have consulted eHealthInsurance.com several times to seek out new and better health insurance policies. I first visited eHealthInsurance.com a few years ago when I was looking for a health plan to replace my current, employer- sponsored plan. eHealthInsurance.com came through for me, and I found myself seeking out the services of this company again last month when, once again, I started to feel the pinch of high health insurance premiums and decided it was time to search for better deals. eHealthInsurance.com is very efficient at helping consumers. You can quickly search for health insurance from the home page by selecting the type of policy you want and then entering your zip code. You will then be asked to enter a few simple facts about yourself and your family and in a matter of seconds, you will be presented with a list of potential health insurance plans, complete with prices and a breakdown showing what is covered and what isn't covered. eHealthInsurance.com presents the health insurance plans in order of best seller, but you can switch the sort to price, deductible level, company, or consumer ratings. There is also an option to make side by side comparisons. I find this very useful because, as everyone knows, health insurance policies often have so many different provisions, you need to line the coverages up, right next to one another, before you can be sure that one is better. As for pricing, the deals you get at eHealthInsurance.com are right in line with what they cost if you purchase them directly. There are inexpensive policies and costlier policies. You need to be careful with some of these cheaper policies because some of them are sorely lacking in coverage- almost to the point that they aren't even worth buying. If you already have an existing health insurance policy through your employer, then there is a good chance the prices charged at eHealthInsurance.com for a comparable health insurance policy will be much greater. However, this isn't the fault of eHealthInsurance.com. The higher price is because the health insurance offered by eHealthInsurance.com doesn't include, of course, any assistance from your employer. You are buying the full policy yourself, so it is expected that the price would be higher. Applications can be filled out at eHealthInsurance.com electronically and approval is quick. This application feature makes eHealthInsurance.com a notch above many other, similar services. With other services, all you get a search function and then a link into the insurance company's web site to apply and make a purchase. With eHealthInsurance.com, you get more information and an application to fill out. The process is quick and painless and you will often know if you are approved within minutes. One thing to keep in mind, if you do get approved, is that your final price can be different from the original one quoted in the site, based on your present health and different factors. **Bottom- Line Viewpoint:** Health insurance is very expensive, but most consider it an essential service. Those who want to seek ways to reduce their health insurance costs or shop for a brand new health insurance policy should consider eHealthInsurance.com. The site helps you find the best insurance policy for your needs, with good customer support, thousands of product offerings, and fair prices all- around.
