Where can I compare individual and family health insurance plans

With the creation of the Insurance Markeplace under the healthcare reform act, the search for individual and family insurance plans has become more difficult for most individuals.  Before the creation of the federal/state "Marketplace" one could simply search for and apply for health insurance the an agency website.  Some companies opted to offer plans through this new marketplace and so individuals will need to now search these "Marketplace" websites as well if they wish to find as many plans as possible.  In many markets, the large health insurance companies have selected a "wait and see" approach and their plans will still be available directly through agents.  The insurance plans in the "Marketplace" will be handled by unlicensed "advisors".

In Wisconsin, one easy to search site is rra4ins.com.  Here you can Research, Refine , and Apply for health insurance all on one site.  For other states, many people choose to use this site.  You will not find "Marketplace" plans on these sites due to the restrictions placed by the Healthcare Reform Act.
