Self-employed or group insurance?

Hi, everyone. This question also directed at "student for Life". I have decided to get other insurance and ditch employer insurance. I am venting a little, so sorry, but have HAD IT with employer insurance up to my eyeballs in a swamp with alligators. Good news: they paid some of the dental (I paid off the rest). Bad news: the 9/05 bill still hasnt been paid (xray). I spent two hours on my day off navigating the phones. Anyway, I have appointments next week with Mega Insurance. Anyone heard of them? SFL, what is the name of the "Basic Health" insurance you had? Anyone try to get Blue Cross, Anthem (?). I truly dont care if it costs $200-$400/month, I will find a way to get decent insurance. From what I understand, the Mega can be PPO, indemnity (?),or EPO, and covers dental, vision, etc. The vision is not good, dental OK, but Mega supposedly gets their payments done in two weeks. Imagine! Indemnity? What is that? THanks WHiz.
