Health Insurance Now Required! How To Get It For A Discount

Online, April 12, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Unfortunately, discount health insurance doesn't exist in the form you might hope for. Not even now that our government has mandated that you have it. This press release exists to let you know about the new laws and how you can try to make the best of them.
If you currently don't have health insurance, it's probably because you don't have a job, your job doesn't provide, you're self-employed, you can't afford it, or you just don't want it. All these are legitimate reasons not to have health insurance. But according to the new laws, you need to have medical coverage or you will pay a tax penalty. Essentially, you will be put into a different tax bracket. Anyway you slice it, you need to get it. If you don't, you'll probably just throw money down the drain that could have been used to get it in the first place.
Here's a quick tip about how you can get health insurance at a discount. It may not seem ideal but for some of you out there, it could be killing two birds with one stone... Go back to school! And if you're thinking, well, I don't have time to go back to school full time just to get a break on my health insurance, I understand what you're saying. But in order to qualify, in most states you only need to be taking 1, 2, or 3 classes a semester, which really isn't a lot at all. You can also go back to learn about a hobby you always wanted to learn, like cooking. You can study something that can help you bring in a side income, so that you can easily pay for your health insurance.
I know this solution is not ideal, but there are very few circumstances where health insurance companies are allowed to give discounts, and students is one of them. To find out how to get the cheapest student health insurance go to my website, http://buyingindividualhealthinsurancetips.com
Unfortunately, I do not see prices going down. Basic laws of supply and demand indicate that health insurance costs are just going to rise, especially as the "uninsurable" are forced into the market. And with costs expected to increase, it's best that you try to save as much as you can. So I would explore getting it as soon as you can. If you decide you want to rebel and not get it at all, and you pay taxes, then you should understand that you will be wasting money, that could easily be going to your premium payments.
