My mom is looking for insurance for herself, my dad, and my 17 year old sister.?
she has it with great west through her employer but it is a big rip off. she jsut needs regular coverage so incase something happens to one of them they dont go broke. she also needs a plan that covers annuals, mamograms. I want to help her but dont know anythign about insurance. can someone give me a good company and what to look for in a plan? what is a normal payment to expect for 3 people?
Well, assuming your folks are in their 50's and both in great health, individual plans for them will probably run $400 - $500 a month, EACH. Your sis should be about $250 a month.
Your mom needs to go to her homeowners or auto agent, see if they sell health insurance. If not, they can give her a referral to a local, independent agent who can give her several quotes with companies that are competitive in her area.
DO NOT fall for one of those "health discount plan" scams. THAT IS NOT INSURANCE. That's why I ALSO recommend *NOT* buying health insurance over the internet - go with a local guy who knows the market in YOUR area. Not every company is best in every city!!

Google health insurance. Put in the info on one of the sites and wait for a few agents to call. Get their info on the phone, have them email you, pick one.
There is no such thing as a "normal" payment. It isn't that easy.

I wouldn't call it "good" but Kaiser might be up your alley.
It is an HMO, relatively cheap, and you won't go broke if something horrible happens.
But, if you go outside of a group plan (group plans are what you get through an employer), they can exclude pre-existing conditions.
