Consumer Guides for Getting and Keeping Health Insurance

Alternate list of states.

The Georgetown University Health Policy Institute has written A CONSUMER GUIDE FOR GETTING AND KEEPING HEALTH INSURANCE for each state and the District of Columbia — fifty-one in all. These Consumer Guides are available at this web site and will be updated periodically as changes in federal and state policy warrant.

The Guides summarize your protections, and so may not answer all of your questions. They are not a substitute for legal, accounting, or other professional advice. Please consult a qualified expert before making any decisions about your own health insurance. The authors, the Health Policy Institute, and Georgetown University specifically disclaim any personal liability, loss or risk incurred as a consequence of the use and application, either directly or indirectly, of any information presented herein.

NEW! We've recently updated the Arizona and Washington, DC guides.

Read our periodic newsletter, about protections consumers have – and lack – as they seek to buy and keep private health insurance.

We wish to thank the American Cancer Society for its support of research that makes these consumer guides possible. Thanks also to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for its founding support of healthinsuranceinfo.net and the following organizations for their past support: AARP, Commonwealth Fund, Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, New York Community Trust, Judy Family Foundation, and National Endowment for Financial Education.
