Official places to get health coverage (HealthCare.gov, Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, VA, TRICARE), tools to compare doctors and hospitals, your rights on medical bills and hospital prices, where to find low-cost care, the major insurance companies (labeled as commercial companies), and well-known hospital systems. Enroll through the official sites; be wary of "free quote" sites that sell your phone number to agents.
