We are looking into switching to State Farm. Our current insurance is $511 a month for just 2 of us. State Farm has comparable coverage for $373. May even get something cheaper with a value plan.

We've currently got catastrophic health insurance through State Farm in Wisc. and our agent has told us that they won't be writing any new policies, just servicing current policies. The other thing you should know about State Farm is that every quarter we've been billed by them, our rates have gone up! Maybe to get rid of the existing policy holders?

That's strange, because in Wyoming they're just now offering major medical insurance, which they've never had before. Hmmm........

I was looking for insurance the other day and came up with this address. http://www.ehealthinsurance.com/ehi/index.html I really haven't checked it out closely as we won't need it for over a year but it might help you.
