GreyDawg Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Note this story from the Dallas Mirnong News on Oscar Heath insurance entering the San Antonio and Texas markets in 2016. No details of their products -- PPO? -- but it sure looks like their offerings might be very compatible with a nomadic lifestyle. Perhaps Escapees advocates could explore/contact them? http://bizbeatblog.dallasnews.com/2015/10/oscar-a-health-care-startup-brings-insurance-coverage-to-dallas.html/ Sorry I cannot do a better job with this link -- sitting in rural France right now trying to do this on an older iPhone, and alas my fingers would not be described as "classically French: long, slender and elegant."

Velos Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Here is the company's website: https://www.hioscar.com/ I am skeptical when they start the page for plans saying lets start with the "FREE" stuff. The company was established in 2012 ;their website interface is very simplistic so easy to navigate. It will be interesting to see if anyone here tries for a quote and will share the results. I remember the story about the race car driver Pete Orr in Florida that was scammed when they went looking for lower premiums. Worked great on a few RX's then when he got cancer they were no where to be found. http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/newswire/southeast/2003/06/18/29940.htm Here are several articles on how to research health insurance: https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+reserach+health+insurance&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=how+to+research+health+insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHenson Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Oscar will be interesting to watch. As of today they have not released any information on plans for 2016 but preliminary research does not look like they will have an offering in Polk County, Texas.
