Here are the two health care providers available so far on the Big Island:

Click on 2014 and then enter your zip code. Then click get a quote. You will then have a few questions to answer. Birth date, gender, then do you smoke. Number of family members and your income. You can add more family members that you want on the quote too.

Here is the other provider:

I'm not as familiar with this website. We are going with Kaiser. If you expect to qualify for the subsidies, then you will have to first apply for Medquest. They must turn you down (if your income is too high), and then you take that form and can then sign up for Obamacare. We are waiting for our form where Medquest turned us down. As soon as we get that we are going to go sign up for Obamacare in person. I started an "account" at Hawaiiconnect, but, apparently, when they made changes in the login page, my account was deleted. At least I can't access it any more. That's why we are going to go sign up in person.

In our case, we are going to get a much better deal through Obamacare compared to what Kaiser was charging us for our insurance.
