I am unemployed. I have major medical & a dental/vision discount card. I'm single with no dependents (45yo) and pay about $110 per month.
Here's a good place to start -

No. Well, maybe. If you're 25 and healthy, you can get a basic policy with a $5,000 deductible (meaning, you pay the first $5,000 of medical bills before the insurance kicks in) for about $125 a month.
Otherwise, if you're 25 and healthy, it costs about $250 a month. If you're 40 and healthy, it costs about $400 a month. And if you're not healthy, they either won't take you at all, or won't cover that condition.
It's the same through your job, but your employer usually pays a big chunk of it, so it SEEMS like it costs less.

It's possible to get insurance outside of your job, but it's expensive. Check around and see what's available.

It is possible but it is expensive. Consult an independent insurance agency that handles health insurance.
