Until I got my insurance paid for by a day job last year, I was using ehealthinsurance.com, probably suggested by Steve Pavlina on his previous forums. I believe I paid about $40-$60 per month for decent coverage.
Some people claimed I was throwing money away, but it is really for those emergencies when I wouldn't want to throw away thousands of dollars for an unforeseen surgery or something. I basically paid a few hundred dollars a year.
