So if it's your firsty trip into the waters of healthinsurance shopping, you woulf probably be wise to work with a broker or insurance Health insurance can be a confusing consumer decision to and having a trained professional on your side can make all the notes Tassey, who recommends that people ask trustefd friends, family, or professional contacts what broker they work with to obtainb a good list of potential candidates.
If you can'tr get a referral that way and have to resortgto cold-calling brokers, ask for the names of two or threde of their clients who you can call to ask how satisfiecd they are with the service they're receiving.
