The honest comparisons

Six comparisons, written so the other side can win.

Most comparison pages exist to make one option look ridiculous. These do not. Each one lays out what the alternative genuinely does better, who it actually suits, and where private PPO coverage is the stronger answer.

Why these pages exist

Every one of these has a losing side for us.

Each comparison names the situations where the other option is genuinely the better buy — COBRA when you are mid-treatment, the Marketplace when a subsidy lands. If that is you, the honest answer is the one you will get on the call.

  • The alternative's real strengths, stated plainly
  • Who each option actually suits
  • A verdict you can check against your own situation
The Honest Comparison

Stop overpaying for coverage that barely covers you.

Here is the same healthy applicant, priced two ways. We are not hiding the trade-offs — if a subsidized Marketplace plan is cheaper for you, an advisor will tell you that on the call.

Typical Marketplace$750/mo

Unsubsidized bronze-tier premium, $5,000+ deductible.

America First Health Plans$300/mo

Underwritten PPO coverage for a healthy applicant.

Pre-existing conditions covered

Save ~$450/mo — that’s over $5,400 a year back in your pocket.

Example figures only. Actual premiums, deductibles and benefits vary by age, location, health history and the plan selected.

Who we help

Built for the people the system overlooks.

If you’re paying full price on the Marketplace or stuck between jobs, a private PPO plan is often the smarter move. These are the situations we specialize in.

  • Losing employer coverage

    COBRA hands you the full premium and sixty days to decide.

  • Self-employed

    Nobody splits the premium with you — every dollar is yours.

  • Missed open enrollment

    It's April and the Marketplace won't take you without a life event.

  • Your doctor's out of network

    The network is narrow and the specialist referral keeps bouncing.

  • A condition to cover

    You want to say so up front and hear honestly what it changes.

  • Retired before 65

    Medicare is years away and the gap still has to be bridged.

Real options. Real advisors. Zero pressure.
