I live in New York but also rent an apartment in Connecticut. I am not a signatory on the lease (I rent a room in a friend’s apartment), but sometimes stay there for work. The premiums for health insurance are much lower in Connecticut than they are in New York, and I was wondering if I could sign up for health insurance there. I know I would only be covered in Connecticut. Is this something I could do and if so, what kind of documentation would I need to provide to prove my Connecticut residency? Thanks

Emiko W asked:


My dog has been on the Banfield Wellness Plan for a few years, but I am discovering that it is not one of the best health plans. Her current plan only allows her to get treated at the Banfield Hospital that the plan was signed up under, and they don’t have extended hours. They are always closed on Sundays and Mondays, and it’s difficult to find a vet that doesn’t charge too much for anything. I’m trying to look for a different pet health insurance plan where I can take her anywhere any time during the week or weekend.

My husband and I are looking for health insurance. I grew up on Blue Cross Blue Shield but I don’t know if that is an A rated company or not. Also, what benefits should I look for, what kind of deductible and what kind of q’s should I ask?
