I have recently immigrated to the US. I need health insurance until I find a job which provides with one. I visited healthcare.gov and it was bit confusing as some of the plans were showing up a minimum of 500$/month (49 year old). Could someone advise me whether there are cheaper options.

From the Billions spent on social services, from rental vouchers, to HEAP energy assistance, to SNAP food ebt benefits, to free internet service thru ACP, to free govt provided cells, to healthcare.gov, to earned income credits for working . That's how many are doing it. Information is a means to power! Source: 6 months ago

Go to healthcare.gov and see if you qualify for insurance. Maximum out of pocket depends on the type of plan you pick and what it covers. If you don't qualify through healthcare.gov, you will need to buy insurance on your own which could be quite expensive. Source: 6 months ago

You can still get it done without insurance, it's just really expensive. It will be thousands of dollars cheaper to get insurance for a year or so and have the surgery covered than to try and pay for it out of pocket, so it's worth maybe getting insurance. If you're in the USA, healthcare.gov is currently in its 2024 enrollment period so you can buy insurance right now for next year. Source: 6 months ago

IDK where you are but if you're in the USA go to healthcare.gov. If you need help applying, this link lets you set up contact with someone who can help you. Source: 6 months ago

I don't think the wallethub.com list is the source I would rest my entire case on, but I already conceded that Springdale is almost as diverse as Little Rock. I wouldn't lean too heavily on "there are multiple types of diversity, and also different kinds of white people" argument either if I were you. Anyway, it appears you have a chip on your shoulder about the whole thing so enjoy your downvote lol. Source: 12 months ago

If you don’t pay your credit card you are being charged 36% on the new First PREMIER® Bank Credit Card. The card is unsecured and for bad credit. It has an annual fee of $50 - $125 1st yr, $45 - $49 after that. Plus, there’s a $55 - $95 one-time processing fee. (According to wallethub.com). Source: about 2 years ago

His home, that certainly could be a pretty big difference, again depending on a lot of factors. The median home price in NYC is $733k per Zillow, and $161k in STL, so that is a big difference. If he'd buy the median home in either place then I get a ~$10.5k difference in property taxes (using figures I got from wallethub.com). Source: over 2 years ago
