Hi Nette
I have two suggestions for you to try:
1. Go to www.nso.com They have a whole section where you can browse individual health plans and get a pretty good idea of what they will cost. You can start the application online.
2. If you have auto insurance, ask if they also underwrite health insurance or if they can recommend someone who does. We did this and ended up with a great, affordable policy through Blue Cross. Since you would be obtaining an individual policy the cost will be based on your age, medical history etc. If you have no major health problems it will probably cost less than think. Coverage offered through an employer is usually a group plan which means they have to accept everyone and the rates are generally higher.
Hope this helps.
