3. Look into private health insurance.

You can buy your own health insurance in the private health insurance market. Zirkelbach advises shopping around and taking a careful look at what you're buying, including:

Co-payments: a dollar amount you're expected to pay for doctor visits or prescriptions
Co-insurance:
a percentage of medical bills that you're responsible for
In-network and out-of-network doctors:

If you have a specific doctor in mind, ask the doctor's office or the health insurance company if that doctor is in the company's network of physicians.

Formularies: Find out if your medications are covered and what you would pay for them.
