There is really no "cheap" health insurance, you can have higher and higher deductables. That cover major hospital stays but will not cover going to the doctor or prescriptions. The better coverae you want, the more you have to pay. Also your age and your health will be factors, If you are older and have medical problems you may not even be able to get insurance.
