Hi there, I’m a resident of LA county.
Just would like to apply personally as a first time client/member to be, also as part of the lower income bracket, single.
Can you help, guide and walk me through different health plan option that best suits me?…
I hope to get a good, decent and best health plan for me. I am just so confused and don’t know where to start and who to contact to in all of these insurance buying/canvassing and decide what works best for me, of course with a budget friendly plan, because I’m not getting any younger too.
I need to take big, smart decisions in investing my money and health to the right and beneficial health insurance, because I believe that this health matter is long overdue and I need the right people to help me.
I hope to hear a favorable response from you soon. Thank you. 🙏🏽🙌🏼😌🤞🏽
