I know the AICPA offers group, perhaps you can inquire there? Buying individually can be very costly.

Appreciate tip. Do I need to be a member?

I was going to suggest your state society. And yes you need to be a member.

ALOT. I was just laid off and was floored at the cost of my own medical insurance (single, 32F). I was paying $154/month for coverage through my employer, and now that same plan on my own costs $531/month. Obv your numbers will be different with a family but I certainly didn’t expect my own to have such a huge difference in costs. Good luck though!

Has anyone else been in this situation?
